Uhuru Kenyatta Returns to Politics as Gideon Moi Contests Baringo By-election - October 2025

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-entry into active Kenyan politics has sparked a significant debate, dividing his Jubilee party and challenging the tradition of quiet retirement set by predecessors Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki. As Uhuru re-enters the political arena ahead of the 2027 elections, former Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has become a significant figure. At the same time, the Kenya African National Union (KANU) has announced that its National Chairman, Gideon Moi, will contest the forthcoming Baringo Senatorial by-election. This marks Moi's return to the seat he previously held. His campaign will focus on inclusivity and service delivery.
