Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has addressed the rumors about his potential run for president in the upcoming 2027 General Election.
Patrick Wainaina Jungle’s Support for Matiang’i
On Monday, January 14, Matiang’i attended a funeral in Kiambu County, where local leaders encouraged him to consider running for president.
During his speech, former Thika Town MP Patrick Wainaina Jungle expressed confidence in Matiang’i’s leadership abilities, calling him a strong candidate for the country’s top office.
Criticizing President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza government, Wainaina stated that the 2027 election would remove dishonest leaders.
“We have decided that this country will unite and we will reclaim it from those who spread lies. We have a political party, TNP (The National Party), and Matiang’i is welcome to join. We need one presidential candidate for our country,” Wainaina said.
