The 2022 presidential succession politics is already playing out with four years left to the much-anticipated polls.
Several top politicians among them Deputy President William Ruto have declared an interest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.

According to political analyst Peter Ngure, DP Ruto's chances of winning the 2022 presidential election depends on Duale's support.
The analyst observes that these politicians will decide on whether DP Ruto succeeds president Kenyatta or not.
