The ceremony which was conducted by the community elders at Muino, believed to be the Pokot communities placenta (Birth place), saw Kachapin crowned as the community’s spokesperson.

The elders said Kachapin is the best placed person to represent the interests of the people citing good leadership.

They praised the governor for uniting the community under his leadership.

Kachapin thanked the locals saying he was humbled to have been chosen to serve them.

The county boss took the opportunity to drum up support for the Jubilee government saying he was confident they will win next poll.

Those present were West Pokot Women Rep Regina Nyeris, Deputy Governor Titus Lotee, Kapenguria MP Samuel Moroto and 14 MCAs.

Senator Lonyangapuo, who is considered his rival, was installed in Tiaty , Baringo County as the West Pokot Spokesperson something that angered the elders.

He is expected to face off with Kachapin in this year’s gubernatorial elections in which political pundits say will be a two horse race.
