Shrewd politician already plotting how to succeed Uhuru Kenyatta

A shrewd politician who is eyeing the presidency in 2022 seems not to be leaving anything to chance, to ensure that he bags the plum post.

For the last three months, the senior politician is understood to be courting popular opposition Governors, with a promise of making each of them his running-mate.

Grapevine understands that overtures have already been made to an outspoken Governor from the Coast and his counterpart from Western Kenya.

It will be interesting to see how the famous politician will extricate himself from an obvious fix, considering that he has dangled the same carrot to leaders from other regions.

Uhuru Kenyatta was the winner of the repeat presidential election held on October 26 and is set to be sworn in for the second term in office.

National Super Alliance flagbearer Raila Odinga withdrew from the presidential election, saying that the coalition’s irreducible minimums were not met.
