Friday, May 2, 2025 - Former Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, has officially launched a series of nationwide tours as he positions himself for a presidential run in the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking in Kisii during a homecoming rally, Matiang’i
confirmed his intention to traverse the country to build grassroots support
under the Jubilee Party banner.
In his first major public appearance since leaving office,
Matiang’i was warmly received by large crowds across Kisii, Nyamira, Sotik,
Keroka, and Kijauri.
Addressing enthusiastic supporters from atop his vehicle, he
announced plans to tour the Rift Valley, Central, Eastern, Western, Coast, and
Nyanza regions.
“From here, we go to Rift Valley, Central, Eastern, Meru,
Coast, and Western. I want to speak to every Kenyan,” Matiang’i said, as the
crowd cheered.
The former CS also paid a courtesy call to Kisii Governor
Simba Arati, a senior ODM official, sparking speculation about shifting
political alliances.
The two held a closed-door meeting in Kisii Town attended by
Senator Richard Onyonka and other local leaders before addressing a joint rally
at the Capital Roundabout.
Matiang’i’s entry into the 2027 race is being closely
watched, with some Jubilee leaders already rallying behind him.
While he has not formally declared his candidacy, he
acknowledged calls from supporters urging him to run.
As political realignments begin to take shape, Matiang’i’s
re-emergence signals a potential shake-up in the race to unseat President
William Ruto.
