Before the death of former President Daniel Moi on February 4 last year, Gideon Moi, his youngest son, uniquely managed to keep his life private.
Even after joining active politics in 2002 when he inherited the Baringo Central parliamentary seat his father held for 40 years, he still kept a low profile.
Born in October 1963, Gideon’s political journey was subtle up until the time he contested the Baringo Senate seat in 2013 and won.
He trounced his opponent, Rev Jackson Kosgei, with over 80 per cent of the cast votes.
