Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale might have made a decision to join Jubilee in order to pursue his political ambitions.
Khalwale, who was defeated by Wicliffe Oparanya in 2017 Kakamega gubernatorial elections, defected to Jubilee after his bid to unite Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula flopped.The former Ikolomani legislator might have decided to test his political clout against the two leaders to see whether he is ripe to position himself as an alternative regional kingpin.That is why he had to look for a political party with a national outlook like Jubilee to gain appeal beyond the region.
''My two brothers refused, insisting that they must be on the presidential ballot come 2022 but after weighing their strength and rating them, they are very low when it comes on presidential campaigns,'' argued Khalwale as quoted by the Standard.
He might also be seeking to be in the next government as a Cabinet Secretary or any other post in case DP William Ruto wins presidency in 2022.
''Ruto is a 2022 presidential front runner and will definitely win, so let us not be cheated to continue being in the cold year in year out,” said Khalwale.
There could be many possible reasons that motivated Khalwale to jump ship to. However, the best person to justify his move properly is himself.
