Sabina refuted claims that the move was aimed at humiliating the Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka whose allies have criticised the methodology to pick Raila’s running mate
“Humility is a virtue, we saw DP Ruto going for an interview and answering questions for him to be confirmed as UDA presidential candidate. I don’t think you can say that was a lack of respect.” Sabina Told NTV’s With All Due Respect show

Sabina who is also the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Council member said that when the decision was made, Kalonzo was there.
“Kalonzo has a person in the panel a privilege not everybody had. He had no problem at the council. We have had Raila and Kalonzo running as a pact, they didn’t win. It’s important for everybody to have an open mind”
However, Senator Mutula Jr stated that it was disrespectful to subject his party leader to interviews.
“Let all the Azimio running mate hopefuls meet and select one of them instead of the panel interviews. If they sit somewhere and decide quietly and come and tell us who the candidate is, even the supporters are bound to that decision.” Mutula Said
