Governor Kiptis defeated his rival Benjamin Cheboi in the 2017 general election.

As he prepares to defend his seat in 2022, Governor Kiptis is likely to face stiff competition from politicians seeking to unseat him.

Here are three politicians likely to give Kiptis a run for his money in the 2022 general election.

1. Benjamin Cheboi

Cheboi is still a political force to reckon with in Baringo and is expected to declare interest in the seat.

The former governor could make a comeback depending on Kiptis' development track record.

2. Gideon Moi

The Baringo senator is said not to enjoy a cordial political relationship with Governor Kiptis.

With his eyes focused on the presidential seat in the 2022 election, Moi's influence is likely to play out in the gubernatorial election.

And as they say, in politics nothing can be predicted. Gideon Moi can also end up vying for the governor's seat come 2022.

3. William Kamket

The Tiaty MP is among vocal politicians in Baringo.

His political influence is steadily rising and is among politicians to watch out for in the 2022 polls.

It is a matter of time before we know the influence these politicians will have in 2022 and whether they will be on the gubernatorial ballot or not.
