==Ritiro==
La costituzione impediva a Moi di partecipare anche per le presidenziali del [[2002]]. Alcuni dei suoi sostenitori proposero di emendare la costituzione per permettergli di correre per un terzo mandato, ma Moi preferì ritirarsi, scegliendo [[Uhuru Kenyatta]], il figlio del primo presidente del Kenya, come suo successore. Vinse [[Mwai Kibaki]] col doppio dei voti rispetto a Uhuru Kenyatta, e proclamato Presidente il [[29 Dicembre]] [[2002]]. KibakiMoi passò la mano a Nairobi, durante una cerimonia scarsamente organizzata, ma che vide una folla mai vista prima in attesa, apertamente ostile a Moi.
Moi ora vive in ritiro, evitato dall'establishment politico attuale, ma ancora molto popolare presso le masse. Si è recentemente pronunciato contro la proposta di una nuova costituzione, definendola contro le aspirazioni del popolo e fornendo una indicazione di voto decisivo per il "No" nel [[referendum]]. Kibaki chiamò Moi per concordare un incontro per discutere il da farsi dopo la bocciatura del referendum.
Moi was constitutionally barred from running in the [[2002]] presidential elections. Some of his supporters floated the idea of amending the constitution to allow him to run for a third term, but Moi preferred to retire, choosing [[Uhuru Kenyatta]], the son of Kenya's first President, as his successor. [[Mwai Kibaki]], was elected President by a two to one majority over Kenyatta, which was confirmed on [[December 29]], [[2002]]. Kibaki was then wheelchair bound having narrowly escaped death in a road traffic accident on the campaign trail.
Il [[25 Luglio]] [[2007]] Kibaki designa Moi come inviato di pace nel [[Sudan]] (per la crisi del [[Darfur]]), considerata la sua grande esperienza e conoscenza degli affari africani, nonché la sua elevata statura di uomo di stato. Moi vuole aiutare il processo di pace nel Darfour, applicando l'accordo preliminare siglato nel 2005.
Moi handed over power in a poorly organised handing over ceremony that had one of the largest crowds ever seen in Nairobi in attendance. The crowd was openly hostile to Moi.
La stampa Keniota speculava che Moi e Kibaki pianificassero un'alleanza in vista delle elezioni di Dicembre 2007
Moi now lives in retirement, largely shunned by the current political establishment, but widely popular with the masses, his presence never failing to quickly gather a crowd. He has recently spoken out against the proposed new constitution, terming it a document against the aspirations of the Kenyan people and deciding to vote "No" in the referendum; the referendum was defeated. Kibaki called Moi to arrange for a meeting to discuss the way forward after the defeat.
