Kanu chairperson Gideon Moi's senatorial bid yesterday got a boost after he was endorsed by elders in an early morning ceremony.

Lembus Council of Elders endorsed the Baringo senator as he seeks re-election for a third term in a coronation ceremony at Tinet shrine in Tinet Forest in Eldama Ravine. The elders led by their chairperson Joseph Leboo braved the chilly morning to conduct the ceremony. Only men were allowed to the shrine. Women had to wait till the ceremony was over to meet the senator.
