Kisii residents have reacted after a photo of Dagoretti North MP Paul Simba Arati and the flamboyant businessman Don Bosco Gichana surfaced online.
The duo were captured at an undisclosed location on Monday.
A section of the residents said the duo will make a good lineup for the Kisii County top seat in 2022.
"MP Arati should pick Bosco to be his running mate because he will be vying for the Kisii county top seat in 2022," said Emmanuel Kebati.
Samuel Oroo, a trader at Daraja Mbili pleaded with Kisii locals to vote for MP Arati as the next governor in 2022 and Bosco as the Deputy Governor.
"The youthful men should take over the leadership of Kisii county in 2022. I am sure if they are given the opportunity to serve the people, they will serve diligently," said Mr Oroo.
Cleophas Mokua said the current Kisii deputy governor Joash Maangi should be worried because his chances to become the next governor are minimal.
"Maangi may not make it to succeed his boss in 2022 because MP Arati stands a better chance to beat him and that is if he will pick Mr. Gichana who has a huge political following," he noted.
