During his weekend your to Homa Bay, Moi hinted working closely with Raila Odinga, a move that Murkomen says will disqualify him from contesting.

“After the handshake, Raila and I are one thing. The friendship between my father and him will continue. We will work together to lay a roadmap to get to Canaan,” Mr Moi said at the home of politician Elisha Aketch Chieng'.

The Baringo Senator has been causing tensions within DP William Ruto's camp, with a section of Rift Valley leaders dismissing him as a sellout.

And in an interview, Murkomen said Mr. Moi was all along planning to back either Odinga or Ruto in 2022 polls.https://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Kanu-sees-Raila-as-its-dynastic-ticket-to-power/1950946-4828340-item-1-pqo1vwz/index.html

“We wish them the best. We always knew that Gideon Moi could only support William Ruto, or Raila Odinga and it is his constitutional right to back Mr Odinga. He is certainly not a presidential candidate, nor a running mate,” Mr Murkomen said.

“And really, this is not the first time Gideon has gone against Ruto. He did so in 2013 and he lost with Musalia Mudavadi. Nothing new here.”

A section of Luo Nyanza leaders over the weekend backed a Moi-Raila ticket, adding that they are 'sober' to take over from Uhuru Kenyatta.

For months now, Uhuru has gone slow on the ongoing succession politics, often scolding those engaging in 2022 debate.
