Nyamira County Governor John Nyangarama is among county bosses who are serving their final term in office.
Nyangarama is also among veteran Gusii politicians who will shape the region's politics in 2022.
As he serves his final term in office, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) governor has not hinted on his next political destination.
Nyangarama has also not hinted on who he would prefer as his 2022 successor.
The Nyamira county boss is however likely to have little say on the county's future politics.
He has faced criticism over alleged poor development record since taking office in 2013.
A section of leaders in the county has also often accused governor Nyangarama of allegedly entertaining nepotism.
The County Governor has often rubbished his critics.
With the rise of vocal politicians like Senator Okong'o Omogeni in the county, Nyangarama's political voice is likely not to have an impact anymore.
Omogeni is seen as the new political kingpin and is likely to push for ODM leader Raila Odinga's campaigns if he opts to contest the presidency in 2022.
For governor Nyangarama, it is likely that he could hang his political boots after his 10-year service to Nyamira people in 2022.
But as they say, politics is full of surprises and as such, we will wait and see the direction governor Nyangarama will be taking after 2022.
