Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i has announced that he will quit his job at the World Bank to focus on his 2027 presidential bid.

On Monday, during the launch of the Democratic Alliance Party of Kenya office in Karen, Kisii County Senator Richard Onyonka revealed that the former Interior CS had informed him he would soon leave his job in the United States and return to Kenya to focus on politics.
“Yesterday Fred Matiang’i called me from where he is working for the World Bank in Latin America.
"He has decided to leave the
job and come back to Kenya to join our brothers,” Onyonka said.
The Kisii senator stated that Matiang’i plans to hold talks with other opposition leaders, including Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, before deciding which alliance he will join to contest the top seat.
