Raymond Moi, the Rongai lawmaker, has hinted at his readiness to take over his younger sibling Gideon Moi's Baringo senate seat in 2022.
Speaking at a public event in his constituency, Raymond expressed confidence in his ability to defend his parliamentary seat for the third time, despite opposition from other candidates.
'So some people think they can come and contest against me in 2022,' he explained, amid cheers.
'Let them not waste their time and resources. I will defeat them the same way I defeated them in 2013 and 2017.'
Raymond also advised his opponents to pray that he takes over Gideon's seat or becomes the governor, as Gideon is expected to contest for the presidency in 2022.
As sons of the late President Daniel Moi, Raymond and Gideon are known to be the custodians of the family's political interests.
