The Friday meeting between former President Mwai Kibaki and ODM party leader Raila Odinga has opened another political debate.
Raila met Kibaki on Friday and the two discussed matters national unity.
The meeting did not come as a surprise since the former Prime Minister has been holding similar meetings in the recent days.
Political analysts now argue that the ODM Party leader could be preparing for his political exit.
According to political pundit, Peter Ngure, Raila could be working on his exit legacy.
Ngure argues that the dimension the Raila handshake is taking is no longer about 2022.
“Raila could be working on his way out of politics after many years of fighting for democracy and constitutional reforms,” he said on Friday.
Ngure observed that Raila might be satisfied with the contribution he has made to the country and wants to hang up his political boots.
He said that the meeting with Kibaki might not have been based on 2022 succession politics.
The analyst added that Raila will be reaching out to active politician's if he had interest in contesting in 2022.
Last week Raila met with retired President Daniel Arap Moi, a meeting that elicited sharp speculations with majority Kenyans claiming that it was focused on 2022 politics.
Before meeting Moi, Raila had met former Kiambu governor William Kabogo and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria.
On March 9, Raila surprisingly met with President Uhuru Kenyatta at Harambee House where the two leaders agreed to shelve their interest's for the sake of the country's unity and peace.
The meeting drew reactions with Raila’s co-principals in NASA accusing him of betrayal.
There are speculations that Uhuru-Raila meeting could complicate and hinder Deputy President William Ruto’s bid for 2022.
