Reuben Kiborek

Kiborek went on to compete for Mogotio Constituency in 2017.^[3] On April 15, 2022, vote counting for the United Democratic Alliance's candidate for Mogotio Constituency was suspended.^[5] During the counting of votes at the tallying center in Baringo County, supporters of Kiborek disrupted counting as they claimed incumbent MP Daniel Tuitoek had rigged the election into his favour.^[6] Tuitoek later won the nomination.^[5] However, on 16 April, he got the nomination as the United Democratic Alliance's candidate for Mogotio Constituency.^[7]

During the leadup to the 2022 Kenyan general election, he frequently associated himself with William Ruto.^{[citation needed]}

Kiborek has denied the claims and was released on a 300,000 Kenyan shillings bond after spending three days in custody.^[9] However he failed to appear in court on 2 August 2022.^[6]

On 10 August 2023, Kiborek was ejected from a parliamentary session of the National Assembly for wearing a Kaunda suit that had the neck too low. Following this, he respected the decision but accused the National Assembly of pioritising British colonial-era fashion over native Kenyan attire.^[10]

On 28 July 2023, his brother-in-law, Nelson Mandela, died in a road accident on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway. Following this, Kiborek cancelled a women's empowerment Harambee scheduled to be held on 29 July in Mogotio Constituency.^[11] He is a close friend of William Ruto's son, Nick Ruto.^[7]
