The 2022 General Election is just a stone throw away. Those eyeing various seats are positioning themselves in readiness for the murky campaigns while the incumbent are nervous to death.
Of particular interest to political observers are governors, who have concluded their tenure in office having served the constitutionally permitted two term limit but are still in their prime ages. They are unlikely to retreat into political oblivion at a time the country is heading into its fourth republic.
These governors, who hold a lot of sway in regional politics, include include Wycliffe Operanya (Kakamega), Ali Hassan Joho (Mombasa), Amason Kingi (Kilifi), Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Prof Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni) and Mwangi wa Iria (Muranga).

Narok Woman Representative Soipan Tuya has received the blessings of her family and elders to run for governor next year.
Mrs Tuya seeks to succeed Governor Samuel Tunai who is serving his final term.
She declared her interest in the seat late last year.
The seat has attracted political heavyweights from the county, including Labour Cabinet Administrative Secretary Patrick Ntutu and MPs Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West), Korei ole Lemein (Narok South) and Narok North s Moitalel ole Kenta.

With the anticipated referendum tentatively set for June this year, the prevailing political environment has created an opportunity for Rift Valley leaders who lost their seats, to make a comeback.
In Nakuru County, among the politicians expected to seek a comeback is the county’s inaugural Governor Kinuthia Mbugua who lost in the 2017 General Election to Lee Kinyanjui.
Mr Mbugua, after losing to Kinyanjui during the Jubilee party primaries, sought to vie as an independent candidate but was prevailed upon by President Uhuru Kenyatta to step down and was later appointed State House comptroller.
