Political analyst Javas Bigambo has said Baringo Senator Gideon Moi is headed for the presidency.
Speaking on Radio Citizen's 'Debe La Citizen' Sunday evening, Bigambo said the lawmaker has since proved his leadership qualities and ability, rising to the influential legislative position.
He added that Gideon has also taken after his father, retired President Daniel Moi, citing his immediate former occupation as the Baringo Central lawmaker, a seat held by his father from 1966 up to his retirement in 2002.
According to the commentator, Gideon's inheritance and spotless leadership of the independence party, the Kenya Alliance of National Unity (KANU), the party under which Moi led the nation for 24 years, is proof that he is an able leader.
"He has what it takes to take over as the President in the coming days. His ability to follow and emulate his father and retired head of state Daniel Moi is enough proof that he will be able to secure the post and lead in that capacity," he said.
This comes amid an ongoing supremacy battle for the vote-rich Rift Valley between the Senator and Deputy President William Ruto who has also declared his interest in the presidency.
The analyst also supported 'blocking' of Ruto at Kabarak where he failed to see Mzee Moi.
"This is after all politics and it was a must for Ruto to go through Gideon being closest to Moi. The meeting didn't have Gideon's approval hence its collapse," he said.
