Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i officially declared his candidacy for Kenya’s 2027 presidency, calling on citizens and opposition figures to unite behind his campaign. In a statement released this morning, Matiang’i framed his bid as a national imperative — positioning himself as a leader capable of restoring discipline, accountability, and economic renewal.
Matiang’i urged Kenyans from all walks of life — especially opposition leaders — to join a broader coalition determined to end what he described as years of “misrule and stagnation.” He emphasized that Kenya faced growing challenges in security, governance, and service delivery, and claimed his leadership credentials make him uniquely qualified to confront them.
He said, “We do not have time for division. We need unity to right the course of our nation. I invite all opposition stakeholders who value integrity, competence, and a clear vision, to lend their support and expertise.”
Highlighting his track record as Interior CS, where he oversaw major security and administrative reforms, Matiang’i pledged to extend those principles to the presidency. He described himself as a “hardworking disciplinarian” whose leadership style combines orderliness with a commitment to human rights.
He listed priorities including stricter public trust mechanisms, merit-based appointments, and zero tolerance for corruption. He said public faith in government can only be rebuilt through predictable, principled leadership.
In outlining his policy agenda, Matiang’i emphasized three core pillars:
-Education – Strengthening public education through improved access, teacher accountability, and curriculum relevance.
-Security – Building on his interior ministry record by modernizing law enforcement and border control to confront both internal threats and transnational crime.
-Economy – Stimulating growth with pro-business reforms, investment in infrastructure, and expanded vocational training to address youth unemployment.
Matiang’i used his announcement to challenge opposition parties to set aside egos and form a single, formidable bloc in 2027. He warned that multiple candidates would split votes and hand victory to incumbents.
He emphasized the need for early planning and stressed that “time is not a luxury.” In his view, a coordinated nomination process — involving debate on shared values rather than competing political personalities — would give Kenya its best chance at real change.
Matiang’i's decision is expected to shift Kenya’s political contours ahead of the 2027 elections. His declaration will likely prompt response from both ruling party leaders and opposition figures seeking to define their place in a potentially unified front.
As preparations begin for a formal campaign launch, all eyes will be on Matiang’i’s ability to translate his track record into a compelling, popular narrative — and to build the coalitions he is now calling for.
