The team included Uasin Gishu Senator Margaret Kamar, Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) of Livestock and fisheries Linah Jebii Kilimo Linah Chebii Kilimo, former MP Aldai Mp Sally Kosgey and former police IG David Kimaiyo.
The leaders met Raila at Chungwa House office in Nairobi.
Senator Kamar had already announced that she will be vying for the Uasin Gishu governor seat in the August 9 polls.
Kimaiyo on the other hand is eyeing the Elgeyo Marakwet senator seat.

"Today we shall receive more into the party. And we shall continue growing," he said.
The Rift leaders were joined by Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos.
