It is an undeniable fact that Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji is one of the oldest and most experienced politicians from the North Eastern region.
He is one of the few individuals from the region who have served in various high ranking positions in the past three successive regimes.
However, 2017 is the year that can make or break his political career. With the present trend in most counties, youthful aspirants are advocating for politics transformation that will see leadership positions being transferred from the elderly to the youths, who have been popularly hailed as being development oriented.
Senator Haji is no exception to the youth's political axe of wanting him opt out of active politics. Fortunately, Haji's current position has attracted very few individuals who have expressed intention to unseat him.
In the event that he fails to clinch the seat in this year's August elections, his political career will have reached a dead end since convincing the electorate in 2022 will be a nightmare to him.
