Gideon Moi

Gideon Kipsielei Towett Moi (born 22 October 1963) is a Kenyan politician and former senator of Baringo County, from 2013 to 2022. He was elected with a landslide win of over 80%, trouncing his opponent Jackson Kosgei. He is also the party leader of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), which for decades was the ruling party in Kenya. He is the youngest son of Kenya's second president, Daniel arap Moi, and Lena Moi. His siblings include; Phillip Moi, Jonathan Moi, John Mark Moi, Raymond Moi (former MP for Rongai), Jennifer Jemutai Kositany, Doris Moi, June Moi.

Gideon Moi has seven siblings, namely: Doris Moi, Jennifer Jemutai Kositany, June Moi, Raymond Moi, Jonathan Toroitich, Philip Moi and John Mark Moi.

Moi is married to Zahra Moi, with whom he has three children: Kimoi, Kigen and Lulu.

Moi has played polo for the Gilgil-based Manyatta club.

Uniquely for Kenyan politicians, Moi has managed to keep his personal life private.

In February 2020, Gideon Moi lost his father, the former President of Kenya, Daniel Arap Moi. In July 2004 he lost his mother, Lena Moi.

In July 2025 the media reported a land dispute between Gideon Moi and 56 members of his own clan over a 40-acre parcel in Kabarak that was allegedly gifted by his late father, former President Daniel arap Moi. The clan members claim he attempted to evict them and transfer the land to himself, raising questions about intra-family governance and clan land practices.

Moi is the leader of KANU political party in Kenya. A favoured son of Kenya's former president, he had been groomed as a presidential candidate by his father. In 2017 general elections, he rallied KANU to support Uhuru Kenyatta for a second term, despite Moi's unease for the candidature which also included his political nemesis, William Samoei Arap Ruto.
