Yatta MP Charles Kilonzo has taken a low political life even after making it back to active politics in last year's (2017) general election.
The Yatta legislator, a once vocal lawmaker has remained politically silent.
Kilonzo, a once close ally of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka's silence is worrying many people across the Kamba political circles.
The MP made it back to active politics after defeating former MP Francis Mwangangi in last year's polls.
Kilonzo won the seat as an independent candidate.
According to political science lecturer at a local university in Machakos, Benson Musyoka, Kilonzo's silence cannot be ignored.
He said that the Yatta lawmaker could be strategizing on his next political plan especially after he made it back to active politics.
"You cannot ignore Charles Kilonzo, he has a huge political role to play in the Ukambani 2022 succession politics," Mr Musyoka said on Wednesday.
He added that the Yatta legislator could even bid for the Machakos governor seat in 2022.
"Kilonzo is full of surprises and cannot be ruled out of the Kamba 2022 politics" he added.
The political science lecturer also said that surprising political alignment's will be witnessed in Ukambani as the poliitcal clock ticks very fast ahead of 2022.
Kilonzo is among top politician's across the country who made political come-backs in last year's general election.
