As Deputy President William Ruto continues to criss-cross the country campaigning ahead of the 2022 general election by launching development projects, what Kenyans have remained clueless about is the man or woman who will deputize him during the election.
There have been claims that Ruto's deputy may come from Central Kenya, the region where Uhuru comes from.
And since the conclusion of the repeat election on October 26, there are names which have been floated as Ruto's likely deputy.
The names include those of Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, former Meru Governor Peter Munya as well as Tharaka Nithi Senator Prof Kindiki Kithure.
However, the one man who may surprise Kenyans to become Ruto's deputy may turn out to be former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth.
The light-skinned politician who is a close friend of President Uhuru Kenyatta is viewed by a section of Kenyans as a neutral man. He was, while MP voted as the best performing lawmaker and that rating, elevated his name to the national political ladder.
In fact there were claims after the 2013 general election that Kenneth's decision to vie for the presidency was a ploy by Jubilee and leaders from Central Kenya to 'test the waters' and see if the man is a darling to Kenyans.
Equally, in a country where tribalism takes center stage, Central Kenya would be comfortable slotting Kenneth for the deputy president position.
Kenneth's combination with Ruto, the status quo may be convinced, will be easy to market.
The union is seen as a guarantee to the continuity of the political camaraderie of the people from Central and those of Rift Valley which was cemented by Ruto and Uhuru in 2013.
