The race to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta is billing itself as a highly polarising contest that has already attracted many contestants, with 15 aspirants emerging 17 months to the General Election.
Already alliances are being formed and the crowded race, which started building momentum immediately President Kenyatta was sworn in for his final term in November 2017, is beginning to take shape.
Pundits believe the number of aspirants will eventually come down to smaller groupings that will lighten the political scene.

Yusuf Haji has been described as a disciplinarian, go-getter and a career civil servant who served the country with dedication and honour.
A father figure, and mentor to many, Haji, who was until his death the Garissa Senator, was a soft-spoken but firm, no-nonsense peace champion who had a sense of humour in discharging his legislative agenda.
His wise counsel and mastery of the political landscape was informed by his many years service in the Provincial Administration, transcending successive regimes.

Political kingpins are facing an acid test in influencing the decision of county assemblies on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020.
The voting pattern by the MCAs is likely to be a pointer to leaders’ popularity, especially party bosses who have publicly endorsed the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
It would also be a referendum of sorts on Deputy President William Ruto’s influence and whether he has gained ground in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s backyard of Mt Kenya.
