In a message shared on his official X account on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Matiang’i rallied Kenyans around the theme "We did it before," emphasizing that disciplined governance and shared purpose remain essential to overcoming current socio-economic challenges.
The statement builds upon recent consultative engagements among key opposition figures aimed at forging a cohesive political front ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Over the past week, Matiang’i held high-level discussions with Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, and Democratic Party leader Martha Karua.
Following his November 7 meeting with Gachagua and Kalonzo, Matiang’i underscored the importance of placing national priorities above individual or party ambitions, noting that genuine political cooperation must be anchored on mutual respect rather than unilateral control.
Throughout his recent public appearances—including a church service in Nyeri County alongside Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro—Matiang’i has consistently argued that Kenya’s next leadership must be evaluated on competence, qualifications, policy ideas, and proven delivery rather than ethnic arithmetic.
As opposition formations continue deliberations toward establishing a formal coalition framework and selecting a joint presidential flagbearer, the former Cabinet Secretary maintained that an inclusive, issue-driven approach will be decisive in securing public confidence and steering the country toward sustainable progress.
