Kanu National Chairman Gideon Moi has withdrawn from the upcoming November 27 Baringo senatorial by-election, despite having been endorsed by his party to contest the seat.

The partnership announcement followed a meeting where Ruto revealed he had asked Moi to withdraw from the Baringo race to focus on national development.
