In the run-up to the 2017 elections, opposition leader Raila Odinga was the talk of the town from dusk till dawn in Kisumu county, one of the regions where he expects lots of supports.
This was partly to attribute to his allies on the ground led by his sister and former Kisumu County Deputy Governor Ruth Odinga and then Nyando MP Fred Outa who is now Kisumu Senator.
However, following Raila's loss to President Uhuru Kenyatta, the two seems to have gone completely silent from the national political arena.
As opposed to initially when they were all over the media, they seem to have cooled down for reasons best known to them and are almost getting forgotten.
So active were they that they were once accused of storming an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)clerks training session after the August general polls.
This came after Raila had rejected Uhuru's reelection and the IEBC was preparing for the rerun after Raila's successful petition at the Supreme Court.
This was on top of other allegations of incitement during the campaign period.
Outa has not been as vocal as his Ugenya and Homa Bay counterparts James Orengo and Moses Kajwang in the Senate.
None of the two has also hinted on their plans with regards to the 2022 general elections, despite the fact that Ruth was a gubernatorial aspirant in the 2013 polls.
Also, Outa is yet to announce his next landing, though most senators usually make an attempt to go for the gubernatorial seat after some time.
