The race for the 2022 general election is taking shape as politicians prepare to contest for seats of their choice.
The presidential election is the focus point in the 2022 polls as top politicians declare interest to succeed president Uhuru Kenyatta.
President Kenyatta is serving his final term in office and he is expected to support his deputy, William Ruto as per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) they allegedly agreed on in 2013.

The deputy president's 2022 presidential bid has resulted to formation of 'Tanga Tanga' and 'Kitaeleweka' movements.

In Ukambani, the song is the same as politicians allied to Ruto say that he is the right person to take over from president Kenyatta in 2022.
