Waiting to see who will accompany him to Mt Kenya when he begins his campaigns uhuru never stepped there when raila was a candidate
Must he be accompanied? Atajipeleka mwenyewe

Kalonzo has influence, if you remember in 2007, he denied rao clear cut win by breaking away before elections. And joining kibaki to give him numbers in parliament after 2007. Also kamba's have been loyal to rao courtesy of kalonzo. Those numbers are crucial otherwise the slim margins rao lost with in 2013 and 2022 would have been larger.
It would only be fair if rao supported him in 2027.

Unfortunately after Elections all Kenyans say that , they want policies, they want political parties based on policies. But just before Elections, we retreat to our cocoons, we elect shady characters just because they're in my tribal party. Politicians know this, that's why they fight to get the nomination ticket.
If only all Kenyans can practice what they think and put aside tribal fears, we can achieve that.
Kalonzo's influence ended in 2007. The votes he brought to Azimio in 2022 were fewer than the ones he got in 2007. You remember even in 2012 Uhuru asked him analeta nini kwa meza yet ako na kura kidogo. I want Rao to support him in 2027 but he needs to do the heavy lifting himself.

Not honouring the MoU was a big blot in his legacy. The infamous Mt Kenya Mafia messed up big time.
Not really judging by how overwhelmingly Ukambani voted according to Kalonzo's stance.

Even in parliament, those numbers gave azimio boost, kamba's vote might not be as many as kiuks or kales but they play a crucial role, otherwise even supreme court would have been a waste of time.
Trust me Kalonzo has lost influence. In 2005 he was more influential than Raila. He even had Kalenjin votes behind him. By 2007 all was gone.
It's only kyuks who can come to the negotiating table by themselves na wasikizwe because of their numbers. The rest lazima washikane.
You don't put all your eggs in the udaku basket.

That thing is a shell
Uhulu also held meetings with raila, kalonzo etc. It doesn't mean that their parties were shells.
