KANU Joins Government as IEBC Prepares for November By-Elections - October 2025

President William Ruto has announced that KANU will join a broad-based government, a move he stated is driven by national unity and development. This follows discussions between the President and KANU leader Gideon Moi and occurs as a united opposition attempts to challenge the current regime. Coinciding with these political realignments, Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda has urged Chairman Gideon Moi to address supporters regarding his withdrawal from the Baringo Senatorial race. The by-elections for this and other seats are scheduled for November 27, 2025, and the IEBC has now opened a 10-day disputes resolution window after concluding candidate clearance.
