Gideon Moi Withdraws from Baringo Senate Race, KANU to Partner with Ruto's Government - October 2025

Kanu National Chairman Gideon Moi has withdrawn from the upcoming November 27 Baringo senatorial by-election, despite having been endorsed by his party to contest the seat. Following this decision, KANU is set to formally partner with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to join a broad-based government. President Ruto visited Moi at Kabarak Farm a day after the withdrawal from the race. This visit followed a political agreement reached earlier in the week at State House, Nairobi. The partnership announcement followed a meeting where Ruto revealed he had asked Moi to withdraw from the Baringo race to focus on national development.
