Politics is about embracing enemies and strengthening friendships.
In the recent past in the country, we have seen big political foes come together in what was publicised at the famous handshake between Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta.
Nairobi's Harambee House is turning out to be the 'scheming' point for politicians realigning themselves as witnessed yesterday when Ruto met Ababu Namwamba.
This time the handshake was not between foes but friends, especially after former Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba chose to join the Jubilee side ahead of the last general elections.
The big question political critics are asking is why all these meetings and what the politicians are scheming.
It is of interest to see Ababu emerge again in the public limelight after a long silence ever since he was trounced in the last general election.
Their handshake with Deputy President William Ruto has sent shivers among politicians as it signaled a developing bond between Ruto and Ababu, and in extension the western voters.
