The Amani coalition presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi has named former Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni his running mate.
Mr Mudavadi said he had settled on Mr Kioni after a "deliberately long and painstaking search".
"I was looking for a soul-mate for the Amani coalition and Kenyans. I refused to apportion the running mate post to politics of the day-ethnicity," said Mr Mudavadi during the ceremony at the party's offices in Nairobi Tuesday.
Two weeks ago, the Deputy Prime Minister was given a free hand to pick a running mate by parties in the coalition including his United Democratic Forum (UDF), Kanu and New Ford Kenya.
