With the ongoing infighting among NASA principals, many analysts are now asking themselves what ODM leader Raila Odinga will do after quitting the opposition coalition.
NASA principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula have accused each other of betrayal and dishonesty with each other following the mock swearing-in of the ODM boss.
Raila, who has a long history of breaking away from political coalitions as soon as he loses an election, is expected to quit NASA and strengthen his dying ODM party ahead of the 2022 elections.
After the 2013 general election, Mr Odinga ran away from the CORD coalition, which made him team up with Wiper's Musyoka to take on UhuRuto.
It is now a question of how soon, and not if Odinga will throw his fellow principals under the bus and pursue his own interests in 2022.
Raila's recent statement that Deputy President William Ruto will need him to be president after President Kenyatta's term ends, while being questionable, has opened the possibility of the ODM boss supporting the DP in 2022, at the expense of Musyoka, Mudavadi and Wetangula.
But why is that Odinga is always determined to betray people who have supported his ambitions? It is because he does not want to be tied down to a pre-election commitment, which will force him to support someone else for president.
The agreement Odinga made with Kalonzo before the 2013 polls required the ODM leader to support the Wiper boss in 2017. But Raila disbanded the coalition and disowned the deal, claiming that it was only to apply if he won.
Before last year's presidential election, Raila agreed to support one of the other three principals for president in 2022. His latest moves indicate that he does not want to support any of them for the top job.
