Lawyer Miguna Miguna's newfound fame may prove to be a game changer in Luo Nyanza politics in as far as opposition leader Raila Odinga's succession plan is concerned.
Dr Miguna who was in 2013 declared ' persona non grata' in Raila's Nyanza political base after attacking his former boss is slowly being embraced in the region following his recent political moves.
Miguna a former advisor to Odinga supported President Kenyatta's re-election but after the results were announced he swiftly rejoined the opposition, a team he ditched nearly six years ago. Since then, he has meant business, something that has endeared him to the people.
His change of allegiance and the administration of Odinga's oath at Uhuru Park has made him a household name in the opposition.
Miguna now commands a huge following as was recently witnessed when protests emerged in Kisumu after the police defied court orders to have the fire brand lawyer released.
With many preying to inherit Odinga's political base, Miguna should not be ruled out of that battle since he has confirmed that he is a fearless and dependable man.
Though Siaya Senator James Orengo stands out as the former Premier's heir apparent, the threat posed by the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general, cannot be wished out.
Even after his deportation to Canada last week, the 55-year old is still a man to watch. He is the new sheriff in town and is out to crush political careers.
