48 revolutions around the sun with thanks to the Almighty.
If you told me a year ago that I would be in the throes of a senatorial campaign, I wouldn't have believed you.
It has been the ride of my life & I will share some snippets with you.

2. Rokor, Sengwer Ward - Marakwet West. Many women have been forcedto give birth on the side of the road because of Rokor's remote location atop a steep hill & poor roads. All sub-locations need a maternity clinic. And unemployment is a big issue.

3. Matungen, Kaptarakwa Ward Keiyo South: what I enjoyed were the tough questions - as it should be - asked by these community members whose land descends into the hanging valley. Land rights, agriculture & unemployment were some of the themes.

4. Fluorspar, Soy South Ward - Keiyo South: public participation for the planned reopening of the mine. Infuriating & painful to listen to families that have waited in vain for justice. The extractive industry must adhere to the Mining Act of 2016.

5. Kapletingi, Chepkorio Ward - Keiyo South: we had a such a joyful time; discussing politics, leadership & long term development. High levels of unemployment continue to negatively impact on the youth. Issues of electricity & water at the fore.

6. Chesongoch, Endo Ward - Marakwet East: we must never forget the Murkutwa Massacre of 2001 & ensure that compensation is awarded to those affected. Although it produces delicious mangoes, insecurity & unemployment - esp of teachers - is high.

7. I am likely the only aspirant who did not overlook the Muslim community. It was a peaceful service & I was able to interact with the Iten Mosque congregation after the Ju'mah. I also met members of the Nubian community who are still without IDs.

8. "Duka Moja", Tambach Ward - Keiyo North: many cases of children out of school due to lack of school fees & high rates of unemployment & the constrained economy. Elders made reference to it being time for Keiyo South to occupy the Senate seat.

12. Senator (Flax), Chepkorio Ward - Keiyo South: water - a big issue here. There are pipes laid but no connection to the dams. Stima. Unemployment. Tough economic times. I shared my manifesto with the community. Feedback was 👍🏽 & 🗳 ✅️.

14. It is sherehe season and I have loved "crashing" koitos where the brides have been so gracious & pretty. A great way to meet people and let them know - in 2mins - about my Senatorial bid. And leave a prezzie, of course. Bless those unions.

15. Kamoko, Embobut-Embolot Ward - Marakwet East: a productive & fertile area. We discussed education & employment opportunities for those who have tried and failed to find work post-tertiary studies. I shared my manifesto & received a lot of love.

16. Siroch, Emsoo Ward, Keiyo North: discussions about agriculture, sports (& opportunities), unemployment & environmental protection. I shared my manifesto with the community and they said a 🗳 for Legetio is a vote for progess.

17. When the UDA nominations came & went on 26 Nov, neither the process nor subsequent outcome satisfied me. Off I went to Safina Party. I am still the same Jerotich Seii. Still 100% supportive of KK & H.E. @WilliamsRuto.

19. Tambul, Kabiemit Ward - Keiyo South: these talented young men were such a pleasure to spend some time with. Most of them are still in school. We discussed career options, sports scholarships & the importance of electing the right leaders.

20. Kapkong'a, Metkei Ward - Keiyo South: families continuously hit with financial shocks incl hospital bills & school fees. Unemployment is HUGE & kidogo hustles not helping really. I emphasised the importance of electing a Senator with a PLAN.

22. Lelan Ward, Marakwet West: it was a whistle-stop visit with so much warmth & support. The issue of unemployment is recurrent. Solutions go beyond slogans. They know I will do whatever it takes. The road from Mugula must also be tarmacked!

23. Samabul, Kabiemit Ward - Keiyo South: it was an intense series of rallies that day and #KotabLegetio did not disappoint. The wazee & young men were very engaged as well! We need water, electricity, accessible farm inputs & jobs. I have a plan.

27. Kweli, siasa ni ya lungs 😅. The propaganda is for comedy shows.
I am still firmly in the race. We held successful rallies yesterday in Kipsoen, Chebere, Kutwopmoso & Singore.
I will build this thread with as many of the 110+ rallies held.
