 Ruto, Moi in fresh battle for Rift Valley kingship 

What you need to know:

  • Senator Moi to be hosted by Kanu secretary-general Nick Salat in the rally in Longisa, Bomet County.
  • Salat has dismissed claims that there are plan of installing Mr Moi as President Kenyatta’s successor in 2022.

A renewed battle for the vote-rich Rift Valley pitting Deputy President William Ruto and Kanu chairman Gideon Moi kicks off again this weekend with both leaders touring the region.

Senator Moi will visit Bomet County Friday, two months after former Bomet governor Isaac Ruto ditched him for the DP in a realignment that badly injured the Kanu boss’s following in the region, particularly the South Rift.
