Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has advised former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to align himself with President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on Saturday, December 13, during an event at KICC, Nairobi, Mosiria said Matiang’i could be part of the government after the 2027 polls if he works with the current administration
Mosiria noted that President Ruto’s cordial relationship with retired President Uhuru Kenyatta could see Matiang’i return to government.
“I have seen that Uhuru has gave our brother Matiang’i the number two position, and if things continue this way, because Uhuru and the President are friends, I can see our brother Matiang’i even being part of the government in 2027. The President and Matiang’i should work together so that Kisii can move forward,” said Morisia.
He continued, “Matiang’i, if you are watching me, work closely with President Ruto so that Kisii can progress.”

Matiang’i is currently part of the United Opposition team, which also includes Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Rigathi Gachagua, Justin Muturi, and Mithika Linturi.
The former Interior Cabinet Secretary is eyeing a presidential run in the 2027 General Election and has already begun laying the groundwork for his campaign.
On October 30, Matiang’i was named the Jubilee Party’s Deputy Party Leader and endorsed by the former ruling party as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
In a statement, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni said the decision was made during the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, where members unanimously approved Matiang’i’s bid.
"We have received and formally accepted Dr. Fred Matiang’i’s application for his presidential bid, and the NEC has agreed that he carries our flag. We have also appointed Matiang’i as our Deputy Party Leader going forward," he said.
