Nassir's presence at the meeting was politically symbolic according to political analyst Peter Ngure.

He said that Nassir, a close ally of governor Joho is part of the 2022 succession politics and is one of the most trusted Raila's Coast allies.
"The Mvita MP was not part of the meeting between Raila and Moi by mistake, it is a political game that is being played out in the 2022 succession," he said on Thursday.
Ngure said that Raila is likely to hand over the political mantle to a politician from Coast region should he decide to quit politics now.
"The Coast region has been loyal to Odinga and he might want to endorse one of the region politician's as his successor," he added.
There have been speculation that Governor Joho is the one likely to succeed Odinga should he retire now.
