Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua's 2022 presidential dream hangs in the balance following the Wiper party's latest move to pledge allegiance to the Jubilee administration.
Considering the fact that Deputy President William Ruto and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka have both announced their interests in vying for the presidency in 2022 is an indication that they may join forces before the polls.
If that happens, Kalonzo may be asked to deputize William Ruto due to the fact that there's no first runners-up in politics.
Mutua will be left in the cold since leaders and residents from Ukambani will throw weight behind the duo.
The governor's political fame is apparently dwindling in Ukambani region as Machakos MCAs continue to throw punches at him due to his alleged failure in leadership.
Despite his pending appeal case at the Supreme Court, Mutua hasn't been on the residents' good side lately due to failed promises.
On Sunday, a section of Maendeleo Chap Chap and Jubilee legislators from the region pledged to support Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid, an indication that Jubilee is beginning to take root in Ukambani.
Handshakes, hugs and smiles reigned the day with leaders declaring their decisions to bury the hatchet and forge ahead for the residents' benefit.
