The team is expected to be hosted by area Woman Representative Gladwell Cheruiyot, a member of KANU. She's one of few MPs elected on the Gideon Moi led party.

"Off to Baringo County with @KenyaEmbrace. #EmbraceInBaringo #twendekazi," wrote Ms Passaris, the team leader.

"Team Embrace in Kabarnet, Baringo County. #HerLifeMatters campaign, #EndFemicide#EmbraceInBaringo," added KANU nominated Senator Abshiro Halake.

Team Embrace was initiated by female legislators who support handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. They advocate for peace and prosperity in Kenya.

Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, also a key supporter of the handshake, is expected to join the female leaders at Kabarnet. He has expressed desire to run for president.

Also in the team to Baringo were Gladys Wanga, Mishi Mboko, Sabina Chege, Denita Ghati among others. The team had promised to tackle anti-handshake legislators.

Senator Moi is embroiled in a sibling rivalry with DP William Ruto over populous Rift Valley. Team Embrace works closely with the son of the former President Daniel Moi, Raila and Uhuru.
