The 2022 election is fast approaching and as always, the popular faces within the political arena are regrouping ahead of that poll.
With the battle to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta expected to be fierce, the country's political heavyweights are not leaving anything to chance.
Over the past few days, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has been making headlines. Why? He is a man on demand, politically speaking.
On one side, Deputy President William Ruto seems to be keen to lure him to his camp. But the man from Tseikuru seems to be enjoying his dalliance with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a recent meeting he hosted at his Yatta home, Kalonzo declared his political stand. That he is in President Kenyatta's political camp to stay. What message was Kalonzo trying to send?
After publicly denying that a political deal between him and Dr. Ruto is looming, and pledging his loyalty to President Kenyatta, can this give a hint that Kalonzo seems to be expecting a good deal if he supports the President?
It is fair to say that President Kenyatta will play a key role in determining his successor. Perhaps this suggests why Kalonzo prefers the head of state over Dr. Ruto.
President Kenyatta has in the past insisted that his choice of a successor might shock Kenyans. His "choice" of Kalonzo will no doubt come as a shocker. Why? Kalonzo and Uhuru have been in opposing political camps since 2002.
As a veteran in this game, with over 35 years of tough politics and tough political decisions, Kalonzo knows what works better for him. But for now, we continue speculating.
