Matiangi’s Ally Reveals The Party He Will Run On For Presidency As He Refutes Rumors

Samwel Arama, Nakuru West MP and a close ally of Fred Matiang’i, has confirmed that the former Interior Cabinet Secretary will run for the presidency on a Jubilee Party ticket in 2027.

This development comes after days of speculation linking Matiang’i to the UPA party, a regional outfit with roots in the Kisii community. Arama dismissed the claims and made it clear that the national stage demands a party with a broader appeal.

The decision marks a shift in strategy for Matiang’i. Jubilee, once a dominant force in Kenyan politics, has struggled with internal fractures. But Matiang’i’s entry could breathe new life into the party.

Choosing Jubilee over a regional platform suggests a deliberate move to build a national campaign. It also signals a desire to rise above ethnic blocs and reach a wider audience.

Matiang’i has maintained a low profile since leaving public office, but this announcement signals his return to active politics. Aligning with Jubilee sets the tone for a high-stakes presidential campaign.

Observers see this move as part of a broader realignment ahead of 2027. Political camps are taking shape, and alliances are shifting quickly.

Within Jubilee, Matiang’i’s potential candidacy could reorganize internal leadership and attract new players seeking a fresh start.
