Following his absence, there has been speculation that the former Vice President was unwell, with some sources claiming that the campaign had taken a toll on his body.

Meanwhile, only ANC party under the OKA alliance is yet to announce its official presidential candidate for the 2022 election.

So far, Wiper has endorsed Kalonzo Musyoka, Ford-Kenya has rallied behind Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula while KANU has backed Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.

The four OKA principals are expected to later convene and agree amongst themselves the best lineup to field for the 2022 presidential election.

Meanwhile, some analysts have opined that OKA may end up failing to field a candidate and support either ODM leader Raila Odinga or DP William Ruto who are considered front runners in the race.
