A number of former leaders from Western and Nyanza regions, some who have been in the political cold for over a decade, are plotting a comeback in 2022 General Election.
They are banking their hopes on the ongoing political realignments in the two regions and nationally.
The politicians are angling to fill the seats to be left by governors who are serving their final terms.
Such governors are Wycliffe Oparanya, (Kakamega), Sospeter Ojaamong (Busia), Cornel Rasanga (Siaya), James Ongwae (Kisii), Okoth Obado (Migori) and Cyprian Awiti (Homa Bay).
Some of the leaders aiming to try their luck in next year s General Election have been coalescing around political kingpins.
