Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka may vie for Makueni senate seat if the family of late Mutula Kilonzo drops out of the race.

According to sources, the former VP was last night under pressure to run for the seat if the family of late Mutula Kilonzo fails to sponsor a candidate.

Kalonzo remains a likely candidate as the Wiper Democratic Party struggles to meet today’s IEBC deadline for its final party nomination.

Delegations from ODM and Wiperhave been meeting Kalonzo trying to persuade him to go for it.

“There is a 50-50 chance Kalonzo may contest,” said an insider close to Kalonzo

If Kalonzo decides to run, a clear win would demonstrate that he is a dominant political force in Ukambani and maintain his position as a front runner in national politics.

However, the Jubilee powerhouse, which is currently the Government, is likely to put in maximum effort to win the Makueni seat and Kalonzo could be relegated to political oblivion if he fails to win.

Makueni Senate seat fell vacant after the death of Mutula Kilonzo on April 27^th.

Late Mutula died mysteriously at his home in Maanzoni, Machakos County.
