With the 2022 general polls fast approaching, Kenyans are surely going to be treated to political alliances and reunions, as political leaders seek to achieve their 2022 goals.
Some are already being seen to be in the making, like the recent talks between Bungoma governor Wycliffe Wangamati, senator Moses Wetangula and Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.
Given that they spoke matters politics, as was confirmed by Wetangula's Ford Kenya party Youth leader Aggrey Nalianya, there is a possibility that trio decided to work together.
"The most important thing is that the leaders discussed the unity of Luhya people. We have continued to speak from different scripts," Nalianya said after the Friday meeting.
Since they are from two rival political parties, with Barasa being a member of Jubilee Party, it is possible that the Bungoma region could speak in one voice in the 2022 presidential poll.
Barasa being a staunch supporter of Deputy President William Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency, Kenyans should not be shocked to see Wetangula in Ruto's camp in 2022 or better yet Barasa changing tact to support Wetangula.
Though he too has hinted at running for the top seat, its quite clear that Wetangula cannot make any impact in such a race currently, which could see him opt to join the DP with the hope of being in the next government.
Look at it this way, after backing ODM leader Raila Odinga's futile bids in the 2013 and 2017 polls, it will be very unlikely to see the Ford Kenya leader play second fiddle again in the camp Raila will be in 2022, for fear of landing in the opposition again.
Similarly, if the leaders were at all serious about the meeting, Bungoma residents could be headed for better days ahead, as it would mean an end to the Wetangula-Wangamati tiff.
Last week, Wetangula vowed to deal with Wangamati over allegations of leading a corrupt county government, which is very likely to trigger an exchange, slowing down service delivery.
But with them back in talking terms, they will iron out their differences while at the same time ensuring that the loopholes in the county are sealed.
