The leaders' calls come barely a week since the former Vice President vowed to work with the presidency.

MPs Jessica Mbalu (Kibwezi East), Paul Nzengu (Mwingi North) and Charles Nguna (Mwingi West) said Kalonzo is the right man to take over leadership from Uhuru in 2022.

Speaking separately on Monday, the legislatures asked the president to consider endorsing the former Vice President as his successor.

“The president should consider endorsing Kalonzo because he is the right person to take over from him in 2022,” Mbalu said.

He spoke in Kibwezi.

Mbalu said Kenyans will vote for Kalonzo if Uhuru endorses his 2022 presidential bid.

“Our plea as Kamba leaders is to the president to pick Kalonzo as his successor in 2022,” she added.

Nzengu on his part said the former Vice President is experienced and has the understanding of the country to be the next president.

He said both Uhuru and Kalonzo enjoy good political relations.

Nzengu said as Kamba leaders, they will write a memorandum to Uhuru to pick Kalonzo as his successor in 2022.

He said it was time for Kalonzo to ascend to top leadership.

Nguna on his part said the former Vice President has been loyal and patient enough hence President Uhuru Kenyatta should pick him as successor.

"Kalonzo is the only loyal politician who can be trusted with the country’s affairs after Uhuru’s term,” Nguna said.
