Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has broken silence over his plans to challenge William Ruto for the presidency come 2027.
Matiang’i spoke after former
Thika Town MP Patrick Wainaina Jungle expressed confidence that Matiang'i would
make a good president.
The former powerful Interior CS
had attended a burial ceremony in Kiambu County, where leaders urged him to vie
for the country's top seat.
While criticising Ruto's Kenya
Kwanza administration, Wainaina said the 2027 General Election would remove
untruthful leaders from power.
"This is our country. We
have decided, we have agreed that this country is going to be one, and we are
going to claim it from those people who put the lies.”
"We have a political party
called TNP, The National Party. That party, you're free to join, and when
you join it, this party, I'm also calling on Matiang'i to join the party. We
just need one presidential candidate for this country. And already we have the
president here," Wainaina said.
When the former Interior CS rose
to speak, he rooted for unity among Kenyans ahead of the 2027 polls.
Addressing Wainaina's request to
run against Ruto in 2027, Matiang'i politely hinted that he would consider it.
"I am sure you discover
that we are all one people, and the challenges we face and whatever happens to
us happens to all of us as one people.”
“Our challenges do not
distinguish between which part of the country you come from, which tribe you
belong to, where you go to church, and so on and so forth. Jungle, I have
heard," Matiang'i said.
