Soy MP Caleb Kositany is running to be Uasin Gishu governor next year. Kositany will seek to succeed Governor Jackson Mandago, who is serving his second and last term, on the UDA ticket. Uasin Gishu is Ruto's home county. Kositany’s entry into the race complicates Mandago's succession, which has so far attracted political bigwigs, many of them Ruto’s allies. Uasin Gishu speaker David Kiplagat is yet to confirm his interest but has been mobilising residents for 2022.
