Mutua in 2013 stood for (and won) the Machakos governorship on the Wiper party, carrying with him an overwhelming mandate of MCAs. When Mutua and his supporters 'won'" the Mutonguni civic by-election, they were over the moon, with Mutua thinking he had outsmarted Kalonzo. But trust Mutua to take advantage of a situation - he was shouting he had beaten Kalonzo in his backyard. In contrast, Wiper not only attained majority control of the Kitui county assembly but also garnered most MPs from Ukambani. So, are these three musketeers - Mutua, Ngilu, and Kibwana - the people Kalonzo's rivals hope they will upset his political backyard?
