WHO IS KIPRONO CHEMITEI?
Kiprono Cheburet Chemitei, 31, is rapidly emerging as one of the most influential young leaders in Baringo County’s political landscape.
He is the son of the late Councillor Chemitei, who represented the Endorois community for more than two decades, and he carries forward a strong family legacy of public service and community leadership.
Born in Nyali-Buch, Mogotio Constituency, Chemitei studied Mass Communication at the Technical University of Kenya before venturing into business and later transitioning into politics.
His first attempt at elective office came in 2022 when he contested the MCA seat for Mochongoi Ward.
In early 2025, following the death of Senator William Cheptumo, Chemitei joined a field of about 10 aspirants seeking the UDA ticket in the senatorial by-election. He went on to emerge as the party’s nominated candidate, becoming a central figure in one of the region’s most closely watched political contests.
As tallying continues, Chemitei is currently leading, solidifying his profile as a rising and energetic voice in Baringo’s next generation of leaders.
