Former Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi addressing residents at Kabarnet town in Baringo County. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]With the anticipated referendum tentatively set for June this year, the prevailing political environment has created an opportunity for Rift Valley leaders who lost their seats, to make a comeback. Kiuna served as Molo MP between 2007 and 2013 under Party of National Unity (PNU) before the constituency was split into two. Between 2013 and 2017, Macharia served as Molo MP under TNA ticket but lost to Kuria Kimani in the last General Election. Mungai was first elected Molo MP in 1988 under Kanu ticket and re-elected in 1992 under Ford Asili party.
