Tuesday, January 28, 2025 – Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i means business as far as his 2027 presidential ambition is concerned.
This is after he quit his plum job at the
World Bank to focus all his energies on toppling President William Ruto from
State House come 2027.
This was revealed by Kisii Senator Richard
Onyonka.
Speaking during the launch of the new
Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) offices, Onyonka revealed that
Matiang’i would soon leave his position at the World Bank and return to Kenya.
“Yesterday Dr 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.
“Secondly, he said that he has observed
that many parties have mentioned him as a preferred member but he has
asked them to wait so that he can come back home, speak with all our brothers
first then decide the way forward.”
Onyonka also stated that Matiang’i expressed the desire to run for Presidency as an equal partner alongside other
opposition leaders.
This message comes just a day after the
Jubilee party seemingly endorsed the former Interior Cabinet
Secretary as their 2027 presidential flagbearer.
In his address on Saturday, the Jubilee
Party's Secretary-General announced that the party had decided to select
Matiang’i as their presidential candidate for 2027.
"We, as the Jubilee Party, have our
candidate, Fred Matiang'i. He will face off with the others to ensure Ruto goes
home," Kioni stated.
