Former Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Moses Kuria /FILEFormer CS for Public Service, Moses Kuria has predicted that Kalonzo Musyoka and Fred Matiang’i will both be on the presidential ballot in the 2027 General Election, for different reasons. Speaking during a media interview, Kuria framed the potential candidacies as driven by different political motivations, while dismissing claims that UDA is losing popularity. “Kalonzo and Matiang’i will be on the ballot,” Kuria said, expressing confidence in his political forecast. On Matiang’i, Kuria suggested a more long-term strategic play, arguing that the former Interior Cabinet Secretary could use the 2027 race to build national stature ahead of a possible 2032 presidential bid. He went as far as suggesting he would play a role in consolidating political support within government by persuading elected leaders from other parties to align with the ruling coalition.
