Ms Karua lauded Mr Raila for having her as his running mate, saying that it was a show of how committed he is in ensuring that there is gender equality. She went further and slammed the Kenya Kwanza coalition saying that they had failed to show how committed they are in doing the same. Mr Raila also promised to concede if he loses in the August 9 polls.
