A group of over 200 Sabaot leaders want Kanu chairman Gideon Moi to go for the presidency.
Led by former Mt Elgon MP Joseph Kimkung, they said Gideon was best suited to represent the community's interests as president.
"Gideon has the qualities of a unifying leader, which the country is yearning for. Other leaders portray divisive politics," he said.
According to the Standard, the delegation said they regretted ditching Kanu for Jubilee as the latter has ignored and sidelined them in spite of their overwhelming support for the party.
"We regret ditching Kanu. The residents are suffering from marginalisation despite voting in the Jubilee government. The most senior positions we hold in Government as parastatal board members," said Fredrick Cheptot, one of the leaders as quoted by the Standard.
Baringo Speaker William Kamket commended Moi for refusing to dissolve Kanu for Jubilee and added that all pastoralist communities have decided to troop back to Kanu.
"I am sure the rest of the country will follow suit after being duped that they were in Government yet they do not benefit," said Kamket.
The leaders were speaking at Moi's residence in Alphega, Mogotio when they visited him.
