Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has once again reiterated his interest for the presidency in 2022, in a move that could create alienation in Rift Valley.
Deputy President William Ruto who hails from Rift Valley has also expressed interest in the country's top seat after President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Both Moi and Ruto have been embroiled in supremacy battles in an apparent bid to control the vote-rich Rift Valley region.
Speaking on Saturday in Laikipia, Moi, who is also the Kanu Party leader said his journey to State House is unstoppable.
He further affirmed his support for President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election during the August polls -disregarding DP Ruto, who is also on the presidential ticket as Kenyatta's running mate.
“Those who we call prophets of doom should not bother you, we have decide it is Maina Njenga for senator and President Uhuru for presidency in August 2017, but my journey, presidential bid in 2022, has just started today here in Laikipia,” Senator Moi stated.
