If he plays his cards well, former interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i could be the next occupant of State House after the 2027 general election.
Dr Matiang’i is a revered figure in the public service especially after his remarkable reign as a CS under former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
And as the clock ticks towards the 2027 general election, Dr Matiang’i is said to be assembling his political machinery ready to give the presidency a try.
Recently, a local publication reported that the former CS had hired the services of a Canadian firm to prospect his chances of unseating President William Ruto.

There is a general feeling that the vote- rich Mount Kenya region will not support President William Ruto during the 2027 general election.
The impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua could have sealed Ruto’s fate in the Mount Kenya region.
With this in mind, Dr Matiang’i can take advantage of this and pick a running mate from the Mount Kenya region if he is to boost his chances of unseating the incumbent.
Former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya is one man that Dr Matiang’i can bank on as the right man to be his running mate.
