President Uhuru Kenyatta has been in the center of reconciliations lately, a season that was initiated by his March 9 truce with opposition leader and his main political antagonist Raila Odinga.
The same has led to another handshake with Odinga's deputy and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho who engaged him in an ugly verbal warfare sometime back.
The President should prepare for more of such, especially now that he is headed for retirement and should expect more people eyeing to succeed him in the 2022 general elections to reach out to him.
The hopefuls will obviously be seeking to acquire Uhuru's endorsement, with the main plan being to woo his vote-rich Mt. Kenya backyard, which would be an added advantage to their bids.
With the President also keen on leaving a good legacy, more politicians who are having future ambitions will be emerging to make peace with him in abid to be somehow enjoined in his successes between now and 2022.
A good example is Odinga's who after the reconciliation is now being hailed as a statesman, as the reconciliation is considered the reason behind the newfound political calmness in the nation.
They could then use Kenyatta's achievement to boost their candidatures in the future and to enhance their appeal to the electorate.
