Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior is not a new name in the world of politics.
Kilonzo Junior came to the limelight when he was vying for the senatorial seat in a by-election after his father's death in 2013.
His election was a pure truth that Makueni electorates have a thing for the Mutula's.
In 2017, Kilonzo was under pressure to vie for the Makueni gubernatorial seat.
Most residents pushed him to oust the incumbent governor, Kivutha Kibwana.
However, he refused to chew more than he could swallow and chose to retain his senatorial seat.
The senator will not have an excuse of not vying for the gubernatorial seat in 2022.
Since he is serving his last term as the Makueni senator, Kilonzo has hinted that he may go for the county's top seat in the next polls.
Although Kibwana has not disclosed his plans after serving for two terms, it's quite clear that Makueni is ready for a new governor.
Most residents believe that Kilonzo has done a commendable oversight job, hence the darling of Makueni people.
Kilonzo stands higher chances of winning the seat in 2022 since his popularity increases daily.
Except for the last candidates who may want to try their luck for the second time, there's still no candidate who can match Kilonzo in succeeding Kibwana.
This is due to the fact that he is likely to get the Wiper ticket and the party is very popular in Ukambani region.
So, unless Kilonzo backs out of the race, him being elected as a governor is a sure bet.
