Your guess is as good as mine, for it is written, 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God' (Mathew 5:9).
Whoever got ears to hear has heard and whoever got data to surf the Internet has learnt! In the wake of the trending 'handshake saga', former Meru governor Peter Munya and incumbent Kiraitu Murungi did the handshake thing in the presence of the president during the recent celebrations of Madaraka Day at Meru Kinoru Stadium.

The following day, amid unlimited speculation, kingmakers of Embu County predicted a Wambora-Lenny handshake that should work magic like it's doing with Uhuru and Raila. Tentatively, the burial of the late mother to National Assembly Speaker JB Muturi in Embu on Saturday 2 June, 2018 was expected to provide an opportunity for the two Embu gubernatorial titans' handshake. It is rumored that the two leaders agreed to put aside their differences; Lenny to help Wambora complete his second term in peace so as to get his endorsement in 2022.
