Other appointments include Jack Wamboka as Secretary for Public Policy and Economic Affairs, Dr Gilbert Shanga as Secretary for International Affairs and Dr Eunice Juma as Secretary for Diaspora Affairs.
Caroline Mayunzu has been named Secretary for Women’s Affairs, Barbara Malowa as Secretary of the National Elections Board and Torome Nalengoyo as Secretary for Minority Affairs.
Former Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has been designated Chairperson of the Party Trustees and Head of the Presidential Campaign.
Natembeya will be deputised in the campaign role by Faith Odhiambo.
In a statement announcing the appointments, LMM Head of Communication Pauline Njoroge said the proposed officials would assume their respective positions subject to ratification by delegates at the November 13 convention.
The unveiling of the proposed leadership marks a key step in the movement’s efforts to establish its organisational structures following its official launch.
The convention is expected to provide the formal approval of the officials-designate and the proposed national leadership structure.
