With four years remaining to the 2022 election, new political arrangements are slowly starting to shape up the country’s political landscape with big guns assembling their machinery.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has opted for a different game plan; playing his cards close to his chest.
For a man who has set his eyes on the country’s top seat, his political strategy could be a bit unique especially at a time when his would-be competitors have already hit the ground running even as they try to woo other politicians into supporting their bid.
Even at a time the Deputy President William Ruto has been on a charm offensive mission of his key Coast region stronghold that has seen his key allies jump ship, the firebrand Governor remains unmoved.
It was just until recently that the ODM deputy party leader fired a warning shot at the DP saying that they will work with like-minded politicians to scuttle his 2022 political ambitions. But on the alleged ODM Coast rebels, Joho has remained silent- perhaps he still needs them in his State House bid.
A key supporter of the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, Joho could be having an elaborate political game plan that could find his rivals flat-footed.
