Two years to the next general election, at least 22 governors whose terms end in 2022 have begun scheming for survival. Governors Ali Roba (Mandera) and Salim Mvurya (Kwale) are also serving their last terms. Murang'a Governor Mwngi Wa Iria and Embu's Martin Wambora — the two governors who secured their second terms in Mt Kenya region — have not publicly declared their 2022 ambitions. While some governors have publicly made their 2022 political ambitions clear, some, especially those from Nyanza region serving their last terms, are keeping everyone guessing. Political analyst Felix Odhiambo said governors completing their two terms in 2022 must strategise well to remain relevant.
