Here are some vocal politicians who are likely to completely go extinct after the 2022 elections.

1. Oburu Oginga

The East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) has been having it hard keeping afloat on matters politics in Luo Nyanza.

Having lost twice in the race for Bondo parliamentary seat, its clear that despite being the elder brother to opposition leader Raila Odinga, he is unwanted by area citizens.

He has to be nominated twice, first to the Senate and now to EALA, hence is very unlikely to get another nomination in 2022 and will only have an elective seat as his remaining option.

Should he fail to rally support for himself, then he will have to exit the political arena after going completely irrelevant.

2. Okoth Obado

The Migori Governor was all over the media this past year, thanks to his controversial life and several crime implications, including the murder of Rongo University Student Sharon Otieno.

Being on his second and last gubernatorial term, he will have to exit in 2022 and get another seat to remain in the political limelight.

And with most politicians known to seek higher mandate if not to keep their current seats, his only option will be the presidency of getting nominated to a top state position.

Should these fail, then he will have to exit the elective political arena and that will mark the start of his downfall.

3.Jakoyo Midiwo 

He is the immediate former lawmaker for Gem constituency and a former National Assembly Minority Whip who is also known for his vocal nature and stern political stand.

However, since his loss to Elisha Odhiambo in the 2017 polls, his relevance and popularity have been on a downward trajectory which might make it even more hard for him to succeed in 2022.

Another loss in the race will be his worst.
