Leaders from the South Rift region who lost their political seats in the Jubilee nominations and subsequently in the August 8 elections, teamed up to marshal support for President Uhuru Kenyatta in the October 26 repeat presidential poll.
The leaders, mainly from Bomet and Kericho counties in which the President garnered more votes in the repeat elections, capitalised on their opponents’ absence and executed a vigorous campaign in favour of the President.
