Friday, April 18, 2025 - Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i is back in town, touching down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on the night of April 17th, 2025, aboard a Qatar Airways flight from the U.S.
He was warmly received by Jubilee Party Secretary General
Jeremiah Kioni and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka.
Matiang’i’s arrival has reignited political discussions,
especially after Jubilee officially endorsed him as their flagbearer for the
2027 General Election.
“We have our own candidate - Fred Matiang’i. He will face
off with the others to ensure Ruto goes home,” Kioni stated at the airport.
While Matiang’i has not yet addressed the public on his
political ambitions, Kioni confirmed that he is expected to make an official
statement in the coming days.
His return has sparked varied reactions across the political
spectrum and on social media.
Supporters have praised his firm leadership during his
tenure as Education and Interior CS under President Uhuru Kenyatta, viewing him
as a strong and capable contender.
However, critics have expressed skepticism, warning that he
may be a political project of former President Kenyatta.
With just over two years to the polls, Matiang’i’s
homecoming adds a fresh twist to the evolving 2027 presidential race.
