Baringo Senator Gideon Moi's non-confrontational style of politics informed a section of Kalenjin elders when making the decision to support his 2022 presidential bid.
For months now, both Moi and Deputy President William Ruto have been embroiled in bitter rivalries even with at least four years to the next presidential election.
According to Yussuf Keittany, Moi's approach of issues appeals to all Kenyans adding that nobody will muzzle his right to contest for the big office.
"He is not confrontational and that is why we chose him over other candidates. His approach to issues is quite acceptable and likable,' he said.
"It is wrong for a certain group of politicians to continue attacking him for no good reason. This is a liberal nation and he has a right to seek support," he added.
While addressing mourners in Baringo over the weekend, Moi urged those opposed to him to desist from dragging his father, Daniel Moi in his presidential quest.
"I do not have any problem when you come here and attack me. I am only pleading with you to leave my father alone," he said.
Two weeks ago, the young Moi was accused of blocking Ruto from visiting former president Moi at his Kabarak home.
