Roots Party presidential aspirant Prof. George Wajackoyah has unveiled his running mate ahead of the August General Election.
Wajackoyah named Justina Wambui Wamae as his running mate on Thursday, making her the first female presidential running mate in history.
This comes as presidential candidates race to name their running mates before the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) deadline of May 16.
Wamae graduated from Daystar University with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
She first came to the limelight during the 2017 elections, when she unsuccessfully contested for the Mavoko parliamentary seat.
Wambui has stated that she believes the bhang business will stimulate the ailing economy and harness an economic revolution, similar to Wajackoyah, who has promised to legalize marijuana if he wins the country’s top seat.
“We want to put money in the pockets of all Kenyans through the returns we shall get from bhang exports in the international market,” she said in a past interview.
Wajackoyah, 62, rose to prominence after announcing his presidential manifesto, which includes appointing eight prime ministers, suspending the constitution for six months, and implementing a four-day workweek (Monday through Thursday).
He claims that it will help bring families closer together, create a 24-hour economy, and allow Muslims to worship on Friday.
Kenya will, according to the lawyer, be able to offset its ever-increasing debts by legalizing bhang
