The Battle for the Rift Valley vote basket ahead of the 2022 presidential election between Deputy President William Ruto and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi appears to have taken shape after their allies faced off in Kericho County on Saturday.

Political lieutenants of DP Ruto led by Elgeyo Markwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Belgut Member of Parliament Nelson Koech disagreed publicly on who the Kalenjin community should back for the top seat with Senator Moi’s supporters who were led by Baringo Women Representative Gladwell Tungo and Tiaty MP William Kamket.
