Uasin Gishu has not been left behind, with plenty of leaders eyeing to succeed Governor Jackson Mandago when his term ends. Such leaders include Zedekiah Bundotich aka Buzeki, current Senator Margaret Kamar and Ambassador Julius Bitok. 

However, these leaders will certainly have their hopes determined by some factors. These are:

Mandago Factor

As the first governor of Uasin Gishu County, Mandago will certainly be influential on who shall succeed him. Whoever he endorses stands a chance to win the seat. 

Ruto Factor 

Deputy President William Ruto is the defacto Kalenjin kingpin. For one to win in Eldoret, he or she must support the sun of the soil. Whichever party shall be in vogue in 2022 shall be the one DP Ruto will be using to vie for the presidency. 

Money Factor

In the last election, Buzeki put up a spirited fight against the incumbent Mandago. He was monied. Whoever shall hope to succeed Mandago must have deep pockets to mount a successful campaign.
