Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has signalled that he would be Raila Odinga’s running mate in the forthcoming elections.
Responding to questions from journalists at the party headquarters on Tuesday, Kalonzo said he did not want to discuss the obvious.
“Let us not talk about the obvious. We don’t discuss the obvious,” he said.
He, however, said he was confident the Azimio la Umoja flag bearer will form the next government.
“Don’t worry about who becomes what” he added.
The Wiper leader had last month suggested he would only give up the running mate slot in Azimio if Wiper is allocated a least a third of the government.
He had always insisted on running for president in 2022 and never playing second fiddle.
“Talks on power-sharing are still underway. We want to ensure the Kamba community gets a fair deal," the former vice president said.
He referred to their understanding as a three-legged stool between President Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila and him.
Kalonzo has insisted on being ODM leader Raila Odinga's running mate for the third time. This complicates Azimio's power-sharing deal with Mt Kenya, which wants the Number Two slot.
Both Raila and Deputy President William Ruto's camps are dangling the running mate slot to woo Mt Kenya voters.
It is not clear how Kalonzo would be rewarded should he miss the running mate position.
Sources say the former VP could be handed the position of chief minister, coordinating the running of the entire national government.
