Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has certainly killed his political future. The Ford Kenya party chief's actions lately point a desperate leader who is making his final political kicks.
His recent attacks on opposition leader Raila Odinga following his Senate Minority Leader ouster has brought out the image of a bitter individual who is unwilling to embrace changes rendering him a hard leader to work with.
By going ahead to threaten the veteran politician he gave the impression of an angry, emotionally weak and revengeful individual lowering chances of collaborations with other leaders who are now aware of his poor conflict resolution qualities.
This, as a result, has made him a hard sell in terms of future mergers as he has proved his lack of humility and readiness for a violent confrontation should things not go his way.
His latest move to part ways with the veteran politician over the ongoing row within the opposition's National Super Alliance (NASA) is further going to relegate him in the eyes of Kenyans including his Bungoma constituents.
This will undoubtedly cost him his senatorial seat or any post he goes for in the approaching 2022 general polls, with Kenyans eagerly waiting to punish him over his decision to move out of the alliance instead of striving to put the house in order.
It will also mark the start of his political isolation again basing on his glaring weakness in his former Western province bedrock where his party only boasts of a few elective posts.
Wetangula is therefore headed for a tough season ahead, one that will make him regret his latest political moves.
