He called upon the Baringo senator Gideon Moi to shelve his presidential ambitions and support the deputy president.

"Anyone from the region who wants to become the president should wait until 2032. I call upon Baringo senator Gideon Moi to shelve his presidential ambitions in favor of William Ruto failure to which we will teach him a lesson he will never forget," noted the Senate Majority leader.

Murkomen said that although the opposition leader Raila Odinga agreed to work with President Uhuru Kenyatta, he insists that Ruto will vie for the presidency and the matrix on 2022 succession politics cannot be breached.
