Lawyer Danstan Omari has challenged former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to reconsider his presidential ambitions and instead consider aligning himself with President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Omari argued that Matiang’i was pursuing an increasingly difficult political path, claiming the former CS lacked the backing of influential political formations and key opposition figures needed to mount a competitive national campaign.
Speaking to journalists at a hotel in Kisii on Sunday morning, the lawyer said neither former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua nor the emerging Linda Mwananchi movement had placed Matiang’i at the centre of their political calculations.
