The writing is on the wall for Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot with regards to his Punguza Mizigo bill.
The bill has been experiencing a sequence-like type of rejection by the county assemblies, and appears to be headed for a collapse.
And when that time comes, which appears to be very soon, and his bill is completely wiped off the table, here is what is likely to follow;
1. Scorn and mockery
The former presidential aspirant is headed for tough times ahead in the instance that the bill collapses. Aukot has been accused of arrogance and rudeness towards fellow leaders and their supporters, and unfortunately, most of these leaders are the leading ones in this country.
For instance, he is on record attacking Deputy President William Ruto, after he recently claimed that the bill is collapsing for excluding Kenyans.
On Tuesday, he attacked National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale, calling him a "simplistic thinker" for questioning Aukot's thought that the bill can sail through.
Similarly, he has been firing indirect attacks at ODM leader Raila Odinga over the same, which will subject him to mockery from the leaders' allies once the bill is completely wiped off.
They are very likely to come up with the "where is he now" narrative, laughing at him for thinking that he could be able to make changes without the leading political class' input.
2. Irrelevance
Aukot has been all over the media over the past few years, whose credit goes back to his push for the bill, and will very likely slip back to the darkness once the bill collapses.
Its through the bill that he has attracted a national attention, which he will no longer be able to do when its out, unless he comes up with a follow up strategy.
During the 2017 campaigns, he even accused the media of giving him a blackout, which is very likely to be the case after the collapse, as he will no longer be newsworthy.
This will be worsened by the fact that he doesn't have even a single seat which can keep reminding Kenyans of his existence and that of his party.
And since most Kenyans remain in support of the leading political class, they will be focusing on their preferred politicians, forgetting about Aukot.
3. Alliance
It must have now dawned on him that he remains a "nobody" in the Kenyan political arena, as long as he keeps thinking that he can make it on his own, without the input of the "big boys".
This has been clearly manifested in the county assemblies where the bill has been humiliatingly defeated, while he has himself admitted that the big boys played a role, accusing them of bribing and coercing the ward representatives.
Unless he is willing to wait on the touchlines for years before claiming a share of the arena, its very likely that he will soon be taking a side, or slowly wither away.
