In Kenya's presidential election system, the Deputy President is nominated by the presidential candidate rather than being an independently elected position, which explains why political figures like Sifuna (former ODM Secretary General) can run for presidency and attract significant support from former party members, as demonstrated by his successful unification of Kenyans under a singular political motive.

Added:Nairobi senator Edwin who says that uh that is the presidency and he says there is there is no way you start by saying that I'll be uh going for the deputy president uh seat a bold move or uh a risky move >> it's called fact check >> because he's just reminding those who've been uh throwing around polls this Colono president and deputy how do you think about this ticket he's just telling them but stop this nonsense >> I cannot organize linda moni rallies I cannot do all these jobs go and visit all these counties and towns I cannot be selling this agenda expending my resources to fight for deputy presidents and which constitution says somebody in Kenya can v for deputy presidency there's no constitution that says that so deputy presidents is not an elective seat It's you are nominated by somebody who is really running for a seat >> and that person is the president. He's the one running for a seat and then he sits and says you know what I think you can help me >> you know so he's he's just telling you in a in a nutshell that hey [snorts] listen I am doing all this because I am going to be the president of the republic of Kenya and there are two things when you are you in a contest >> you know you fight to win but you can also lose. Yeah.
>> And that is something that Linda is fully aware that can beat them or they can beat it's a two-way traffic and if that happens it should happen honorably constitutionally that [snorts] if you beaten fair game if you you win fair game so that this was a fair game. But now he's reminding those who've been saying oh you know so he's saying sh that conversation I'm going for the top seat excitement sweeps the western region ahead of tourractice practice number.
Yeah.
So point is Mhm.
>> is ripe for presidency.

Yes.
>> Western region. Yes. [clears throat] Yes.
[laughter] [crying] Please.

>> Whether they get to use that name Linda, another one really doesn't matter. What matters over here is the fact that Cifuna and his team have successfully managed to unite Kenyans. Yeah. With a singular motive. You know what that motive is right now?
You know what I mean? Yeah. And so I feel like it doesn't matter whether they call themselves Linda Moni Linda whatever doesn't matter. Kenyans know what the the the goal is. Yeah, another thing uh that's going on is Pauline Roi has quit Jubilee to join the outfit. Linda Monanchi. Yeah, guys, you know, according to me, Jubilee Makia, you remember how Jubilee performed in Okalo?
Yeah. And you know, okay, so I may have been scaring some stories out here that whoever is sponsoring Jubilee guys, [laughter] I may decide to transfer those funds moving forward to Linda Manenji and because of that guys like Matiang not really happy. Another one Edina President has no chance against Linda Mani in Luanza citing recent polling and the movement's growing grassroots support. Now guys, the truth of the matter is there's going to be a huge chunk of uh ODM followers, especially the younger ones who will definitely the role with Tifuna them. They relate with Sifuna. They believe in whatever Sifuna is up to, especially his energy.
The fact that he was, you know, Baba's last secretary general, you know what I mean? Let me tell you, Sifuna was actually very much loved in ODM. He was he was a he was a he was a favorite for the ODM followers. So, you best believe That story for who told you? Yeah. Do you know how many guys would be so amazed and inspired and so proud of Sifuna when he actually if at all is going to be on the ballot here? Can you imagine that announcement? A lot of ODM followers who used to believe in him will continue. Yeah. What? And yeah, that's where Baba spirit is. The fact that Suna has the nerve, has the balls to run for the presidency. Truly, truly that is where Baba spirit is. And uh you best believe it's going to go with a massive chunk of ODM followers.
