Although he has not declared his interest to vie for the presidency, Raila Odinga’s support from Kenyans for the top seat has decreased significantly in the recent past days since the March 2018 handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Another interesting candidate who has been pushed by Kenyans to declare his interest for the top seat is Governor Kibwana.

Kibwana has stood out among other governors over his humility and tremendous development in Makueni county.

In his first term, Governor Mutua stood as a young leader who was determined to change lives of Machakos county residents.
