Jubilee politicians from the Coast who lost in the August 8 polls have their fingers crossed to see if they can make it to President Uhuru Kenyatta's cabinet should the Supreme Court rule in his favour.
Mombasa governor loser Suleiman Shahbal, the man who delivered almost 100,000 votes to Uhuru in an area where opposition enjoys huge following is a serious contender and so is his running mate and former Kisauni MP Anania Mwaboza.
In Kilifi County, another loser in the gubernatorial race Gideon Mung'aro is also hoping that his effort to make Jubilee penetrate the region will not go unappreciated.
Though Jubilee never won any seat in the county, Mung'aro was an integral part if the Jubilee campaign team in the county.
Taita Taveta Governor loser and outgoing Senator Dan Mwazo may be another beneficiary from the region should Jubilee form the next government.
A one-time Cabinet Minister, Mwazo may bank on is experience as a springboard to land a similar position in the next Jubilee government.
Still in Taita Taveta, former Women Rep. Joyce Lay who ditched ODM for Jubilee before losing in her quest for Senator position may also be considered for serious government position.
In Tana River, former Governor Dado Godana and former Garsen MP Danson Mungatana, both losers in the governor race may also be on the line for ministerial positions.
