"Jubilee is just one out of the 26 political parties. I sit in the council as well and President Kenyatta does not make the decisions alone," she said.

The Azimio presidential running mate said the Jubilee party will have a rule, if Azimio wins the elections on August 9.

She added that the if Uhuru doesn't give his position on the council to any other member of his party, it would be a peripheral rule as a member of the party, to remain in the council rule.

"The incoming administration will be a Raila Odinga - Azimio presidency, just like the current Jubilee government, although Uhuru was a deputy president in the government of Mwai Kibaki, it was not a continuation of the Mwai Kibaki administration," she pointed out.

Karua was speaking during the deputy presidential debate at CUEA on Tuesday.

Karua also said that she and Raila are projects of the people of Kenya, not Uhuru's projects.

"It is true that both my captains and I are projects, but projects of the people of Kenya, whom my captain consulted... and I was competitively selected. I faced an interviewing panel, and also through demands of Kenyans and many endorsements, I was selected."
