As Rift Valley gears up to choose its 2022 presidential candidate, a significant development has emerged that could potentially alter the region's political landscape. According to sources, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has expressed a willingness to work with Deputy President William Ruto, provided the latter has good intentions.
Published on July 31, 2019, this news comes as a surprise to many, given the long-standing rivalry between Gideon Moi and William Ruto. The two have been at odds for years, with Gideon Moi blocking Ruto's attempts to meet with his father, former President Daniel Moi.
However, in a recent statement, Gideon Moi indicated that he is open to working with Ruto, but only if the deputy president is willing to extend 'clean' hands. This statement has been interpreted as a sign of Gideon Moi's willingness to put aside his differences with Ruto and work towards a common goal.
As Rift Valley prepares to choose its 2022 presidential candidate, Gideon Moi's decision to work with Ruto could potentially alter the region's political dynamics. While some see this development as a step towards unity, others believe it may be a power play by Gideon Moi to gain an upper hand in the region's politics.
