Shakeel says that Gladys Wanga is the current governor for Homabay county and that she should focus on showing what she can do there.
That the issue of the deputy presidency having a demand might even break the party.
At the moment, Gladys Wanga is one of those names being fronted to run as William Ruto's running mate in 2027.
The political matrix is changing and so it will be a tough balancing act for William Ruto in 2027. Will he stick with Kithure Kindiki or will he be seeking to take over Raila's former turf.
Or, will he make a gamble and go for a woman DP to woo the women voters across board?
These are some of the issues that ODM will have to navigate with going into 2027. And if Ruto was to pick a deputy from ODM, is Gladys Wanga the best pick?
