Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua is among the most powerful and influential politicians not only in Ukambani region but also the entire nation.
Mutua has been a force to reckon with in the politician arena for many years. A few months ago, the outspoken governor formed Maendeleo Chap Chap Movement as he looks forward to defending his seat.
The political outfit has continued to gain popularity all over the nation. There is no doubt that the decision to come up with Maendeleo Chap Chap was a well-calculated move.
Most candidates who have ever dreamt of leading the nation in the past have formed parties. Apparently, Mutua has jumped onto the bandwagon of forming his party as he figures out whether he can run for presidency.
His decision to enter the presidential race in 2022 will leave many politicians including Deputy President William Ruto and Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Joho with sleepless nights.
The governor has transformed Machakos County during his term as a governor. He is considered among those governors who have high chances of retaining their seats despite the increased number of candidates going for the same seat.
If Mutua stood up today and declared to vie for presidency in the near future, he will get massive support from all corners of the country.
