The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has cleared Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to defend his seat in the August 9 general elections.
Moi will be defending his seat on a KANU party ticket.
“I am delighted that I have been cleared to defend my seat for the third time and I am looking forward to having a good and vigorous campaign and earning again the trust of great people of Baringo County,” he told journalists after receiving his certificate from the county Returning Officer.
This action puts an end to speculation that the Baringo Senator would not be defending his seat due to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) wave in Rift Valley.
Gideon has been a vocal member of the One Kenya Alliance, which has teamed up with Azimio to support Raila Odinga’s presidency.
The poll commission chair Wafula Chebukati is the returning officer for the exercise which involves verification of Identification details to see whether the candidate is a Kenyan citizen.
