The battle for the country's top seat come the next general election is slowly starting to gain momentum with Deputy President William Ruto seen as the front runner for the seat. However, it will not be an easy ride for him as others eye the seat.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho is one of the big political names expected to throw the hat into the ring. But his main problem may be the political party to use to springboard his political ambitions.
If ODM leader Raila Odinga vies again, what next for the Mombasa Governor who ha been patiently waiting on the wings to take over the party's leadership and inherit the former Prime Minister's political base? With top politicians from the Coast region having declared their support for Ruto, Joho is left in an awkward political position.
So what next for him? Joining the DP may be an option that may prove better for him. Though politically speaking he doesn't see eye to eye with Ruto, anything is possible in politics.
Should the duo team together, the 2022 presidential contest will be their to lose. With both having a huge following with loyal supporters, this is a political tsunami that will not spare anybody.
