Raila picks Governor Ndiritu Muriithi to head his campaign

NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 5-ODM leader Raila Odinga has picked Laikipia Governor Ndiritu Muriithi to head his campaign team as board chair.

The Campaign Secretary and Chief Executive Officer is Elizabeth Meyo.

“The Governor of Laikipia, H.E. Hon Ndiritu Muriithi, has been nominated and accepted to become chair of the board of the Raila Odinga 2022 Campaign,” Raila said in a statement.

Odinga’s selection of the team, particularly Muriithi, demonstrates the importance he attaches to Central Kenya where he is likely to pick his running mate.

An economist and financial markets expert, Governor Muriithi, has over 29 years’ experience in leadership and management in Kenya, South Africa, Canada and Australia, Governor Murithi was instrumental in the drive to have the derelict Nairobi-Nanyuki and Gilgil-Nyahururu railway lines rehabilitated.

In recent weeks, he has been seen accompanying Odinga in several key public meetings in what fueled speculation that he may be his running mate.
