Politics is a dynamic game which is full of changes, both anticipated and unexpected.
A similar scenario is expected in the approaching 2022 presidential election, with realignments already starting to emerge.
Likely to suffer most in the ongoing changes is opposition leader Raila Odinga, who could end up losing his longtime Luo Nyanza bedrock.
Judging by the former Prime Minister's series of losses in the previous elections, starting from 1997 to 2017, the region is most likely to shift to another leader.
It is likely to back a leader who is guaranteed of a win in the race in a bid to see itself as part of government.
It is obviously growing tired of always finding itself in the opposition courtesy of its unwavering loyalty to the leader, resulting to it being mocked for continued stay in the political cold.
Also, Raila is most likely succumb to Deputy President William Ruto's ideologies.
Ruto has lately been making attempts to make inroads into all sections of the nation and will not ignore the millions of votes coming with the lakeside region.
Ruto who is currently dangling the carrot to the entire nation in an attempt to realize his bid is also fully financed due to his preparation which began in 2012.
This is the opposite of Raila's case, as the leader has always been on the ballot and is likely to lose some of his financiers who have not seen value for their money.
Therefore he is most likely to have financial shortages which will limit his campaigns, and planning should he give it another try.
He is also, reportedly, carefully choosing his point men, specifically popular poll losers in the region in the previous elections to handle his campaigns at the grass root level.
These might be able to use Raila's inability to win in his previous attempts to convince the region to take a different route.
