Keter resigned from the previous cabinet in February 2022 to contest the Kericho gubernatorial seat. However, he lost the UDA party nomination to Eric Mutai, who is now the governor. 

He joined Uhuru's cabinet in 2015 as Cabinet Secretary for Energy, a position he held until 2021 when he was moved to the Ministry of Devolution. 

Prior to joining the Cabinet, Keter served as the Member of Parliament for Belgut Constituency from 2002 to 2013 and as the Senator for Kericho County from 2013 to 2015.
