Brace Yourself for a Tough Battle, Senator Gideon Moi Tells DP Ruto Over 2022 Presidential Race
Kenya African National Union (Kanu) leader Gideon Moi has expressed his interest in running for the presidency in 2022.
Speaking in Baringo County, Moi dismissed claims that Deputy President William Ruto is the frontrunner for the country's top seat in 2022 and promised to give him a run for his money.
“I don't understand why some people think I am a novice in politics. I have come of age and am equal to the task, so I will vie for the presidency. Some people started calling me names and trying to discourage me before I even announced my ambition,” said Moi.
The Baringo senator further dismissed calls by a section of Rift Valley leaders asking him to shelve his presidential ambitions and back Mr Ruto.
“Tunaomba kumwambia naibu wa rais kuwa kutangulia si kufika (We want to tell the DP that being the deputy President is no guarantee that he will be the president of this republic. He should just be patient because he will be in for a rude shock," Moi said.
“I will be on the presidential ballot in 2022, and my political opponents should brace for a tough battle. I am not cowed, and I am not ready to shelve my political ambitions ,” he said.
Tiaty Member of Parliament William Kamket said Moi was the right leader to succeed President Kenyatta as Kenya's 5th president.
“I want to assure the Kalenjin that Senator Moi is a sure bet. Even before he announced his presidential ambition, it was causing jitters among politicians,” said Kamket.
Other leaders who have declared their interest in inheriting President Uhuru include Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and ANC chief Musalia Mudavadi.

Jameni! Tunatakwa mabadiliko ya viongozi wapya. Kenya mpya inahitaji viongozi wasio na uhusiano na viongozi waliotawala Kenya tangu tupate Uhuru.

Gideon, your father had his boot on our necks for almost a quaterof a century. You came out of it rich without a sweat-you never had to hold a real job. As for the regular Kenyans, we're still sweating- paying up the bills of the money you still have starched somewhere and your helicopters etc. So forget becoming President of Kenya because we can't give hyena twice. Count yourself lucky and don't show God stomarch.

Tunataka Kenya mpya isiyotawaliwa na watu waliohujumu uchumi wa Kenya. Je, unakumbuka vile Mheshimiwa Dr. William Samoei Chirchir Arap Ruto alivyotumiwa na Mheshimiwa Dr. Daniel Kipkorios Toroitich Arap Moi pamoja na mwenzake Mheshimiwa Dr. Jirongo kuharibu uchumi wa nchi walipokuwa vijakazi wa YK92?
Ningependa kujua, je, umepokea hongo kutoka kwa Dr. Ruto ili umuunge mkono kuwa rais wa Kenya 2022 na kuimaliza nchi ya Kenya kabisa?
Mtu yeyote anayemwuunga mkono Dr. Ruto bila shaka amepokeas rushwa. Mtu huyu hafai hata kuchunga mende katika nyumba!
Ni lazima tubadilishe marubani na kupata wengine wapya wasio na alama yoyote ili tufike salama tuendako.
