Retired President Daniel Moi has pledged to support President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election bid in the August 8, 2017, general election.
This development came after President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Moi at his Kabarnet Gardens home in Nairobi, where they held bilateral talks.
According to sources, Uhuru requested Moi to persuade his son, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, to support him despite his differences with Deputy President William Ruto.
Moi agreed to back Uhuru, which has sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans.
Reactions from Kenyans ¶
Some Kenyans believe Moi's support will boost Uhuru's chances, while others think the former President's endorsement carries little weight.
