In this paper, we show in the case of the simplest affine algebra $\widehat{sl(2)}$, that the bosonized Wakimoto realization can be extended to the principal gradation only when $k$ is equal to the critical level, i.e., -2. In this case, this construction can be achieved in terms of arbitrary number (larger than 1) of free bosonic fields.8 pages, LatexQuantum AlgebraWakimoto construction in the principal gradationtext
