Kenya's President William Ruto and Kanu party leader Gideon Moi, once political allies, are once again in open conflict, reigniting a rivalry over the political legacy of the late Daniel arap Moi.

• The fallout stems from a failed political agreement and competition for political legitimacy and succession.
• Key figures include President William Ruto, a protégé of Daniel arap Moi, and Gideon Moi, the son of the former president and heir apparent to his legacy.
• The core of the renewed dispute is the unresolved question of who truly inherited Moi's political kingdom and influence in the Rift Valley.
