Nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege has said that if Azimio had elected her as Raila Odinga’s running mate, the presidential victory could be theirs.

The MP made the remarks during the Jubilee Leadership meeting held in Nairobi on 20th December 2023.

At the same time, she also acknowledged how difficult it was to campaign for Raila in Mt.Kenya region.

”I was named among the potential presidential running mates. I wish they had given me that chance, we would have won,” she said.

“I did not vie because I wanted to fight for the party. Despite us being called names and being told to go sell Raila which was very difficult, you saw me in the entire country.”

Sabina promised that she will not stop fighting for Jubilee despite all court cases and intimidations.

The Azimio Coalition had selected Narc Party leader Martha Karua as the Deputy President in the 2022 general elections.

However they lost the elections to the Kenya Kwanza team.

Why Sabina Chege lost her position as Deputy Minority Whip

Earlier, Sabina Chege lost her position as the Deputy Minority Whip in the National Assembly.

Chege had filed a case in a Kiambu Court to challenge Azimio la Umoja’s decision to remove her from the position.

Unluckily, the case filed in Kiambu was dismissed paving the way for party procedures to take over.

Embakasi West MP Mark Muriithi Mwenje took her place as the new Deputy Minority Whip in the 13th Parliament.

Azimio had previously attempted to replace Sabina Chege on May 4, but Speaker Wetangula ruled against the move.

The Coalition went ahead to court to sue National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula for favoring nominated MP Sabina Chege and recognizing her as Jubilee Party whip.

Wetangula had recognized Jubilee as a Parliamentary Party, yet it is still one of the Azimio coalition parties.
