Political parties aim to capture power, and strong leadership is crucial. Gideon Moi's experience as KANU chairman, despite having resources, didn't translate to success in the 2022 elections. Some KANU members, backed by familiar brokers, now suggest Moi run for Baringo senatorial seat to become a "Kingpin." However, being a Kingpin isn't necessarily about elected office, as seen with Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka's influence in Kamba politics without being elected to a specific position.
Given Moi's limited impact in both government and opposition, it might be more fitting for him to focus on his role as a respected figure in Baringo, rather than pursuing office. Meanwhile, the suggestion to swear in Sen Vincent Chemitei could be explored further.
