Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Minority Leader in Parliament Francis Nyenze, now wants former Kaiti MP Gideon Ndambuki to succeed late Mutula Kilonzo in Makueni.
According to a source, who spoke to the Kenyan DAILY POST on condition of anonymity, the two leaders want Ndambuki to represent Makueni people since he is a polished and a seasoned politician.
Diana Kethi Kilonzo, the daughter of Late Mutula Kilonzo, has also expressed willingness to contest for the seat but Wiper Democratic Movement powerbrokers are seen to be angling for Ndambuki rather than Kethi.
Sources reveal that Ndambuki who was beaten by the late Kilonzo in the Wiper primaries for the Senate seat will consider vying with Kethi Kilonzo and Harun Mwau if Wiper leaders give him his blessings.
Other reports say Wiper leaders led by Nyenze have already sent a delegation to Kethi Kilonzo urging her to drop her ambitions in favour of Ndambuki.
But according to political pundits and analysts, this will be a big miscalculation for Kalonzo and Nyenze, since Makueni constituents want Kethi Kilonzo to represent them at the Senate.
The Makueni Senatorial seat fell vacant following the mysterious death of Mutula Kilonzo at his Maanzoni home, in Machakos County, last month.
