Former Machakos Senator Johnston Muthama a fierce supporter of opposition leader Raila Odinga's silence might cause stirs over his next move and the Ukambani political wave.
His political in-activeness should be giving Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka sleepless nights over his political might and prowess in the Ukambani region where he has enjoyed overwhelming support for the past two decades as its kingpin.
Musyoka whose political life is in the balance after the Ukambani leaders led by Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua declared their interest to run in the 2022 presidential elections cannot claim to have Eastern region as his backbone again.
The recent move by Makueni Governor Prof. Kivuta Kibwana has threatened the Wiper party more as he showed interest to support Dr.Alfred Mutua for his 2022 bid to lead the nation hence causing a lot of divisions in the party.
Kalonzo Musyoka who, during his father's burial last year, was quoted saying, he will put political difference aside and support president Uhuru Kenyatta has since seen his chances as Ukambani kingpin drift off him.
The Ukambani region will play a pivotal role on who becomes Kenya's 5th president to succeed president Uhuru Kenyatta and the emergence of fresh leaders to take up the mantle of controlling the vote-rich region should be giving Kalonzo a lot of headaches.
Moreso, the political line that the former senator Johnston Muthama will take will determine where Ukambani region will land after the 2022 polls, either in government or opposition.
Muthama has been a thorn in the flesh for Kalonzo since the decisive majority declaration that paved way for Raila to be NASA's flag bearer in the 2017 polls. Kalonzo Musyoka's chances of running for the 2022 presidential election is in shackles as his Wiper party might be falling apart for the vibrant Alfred Mutua's Chap Chap party.
