Baringo Senator Gideon Moi’s journey to the presidency is slowly picking up pace, as he embarks on crafting political alliances.
Gideon is consolidating his political support not only in his Rift Valley backyard but also across the country, setting in motion his bid for the presidency next year.
In the Rift Valley, Talai elders last week made him the Kalenjin kingpin in what is seen as way to neutralise Deputy President William Ruto’s influence in the region.
And in other parts of the country, he has been reaching out to key political players, revamping the independence party, Kanu, and taking a leading role in the ongoing constitutional amendment agenda.
