Sunday, May 4, 2025 - Renowned Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has cast doubt on former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s presidential ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
In a tweet posted on Sunday, May 4th, Ngunyi
labeled Matiang’i an “overrated greenhorn” and expressed confidence that
President William Ruto would easily secure a second term.
He argued that despite backing from former President Uhuru
Kenyatta, Matiang’i stands little chance at the ballot.
“Matiang’i is an overrated greenhorn. Working with Uhuru,
they couldn’t make Raila President.”
“How will a deadwood like Uhuru make Matiang’i President?”
Ngunyi posed.
The analyst further questioned Uhuru’s influence, citing his
failure to rally the Mt. Kenya region behind ODM leader, Raila Odinga, in the
2022 elections.
Ngunyi also predicted a political reconciliation between
President Ruto and his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, ahead of the 2027
polls.
“GEMA votes will be
delivered by Gachagua. And Riggy G will reconcile with Ruto by 2027. End of
discussion!” he tweeted.
Matiang’i declared his presidential bid on May 2nd
during a homecoming rally at Gusii Stadium, Kisii County.
“I have spoken it now from my own mouth. I am ready,” he
stated.
To strengthen his campaign, Matiang’i has enlisted the
services of Canadian lobbying firm, Dickens & Madson, reportedly spending
over Ksh. 32 million to boost his international profile and garner strategic
support.
