A section of Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from Kisii and Nyamira counties accompanied former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to Narok County during the homecoming ceremony of Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Ole Kenta. The event attracted political leaders from different regions and is being seen by many as another sign of growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election. The strong presence of leaders from the Gusii region alongside Matiang’i has sparked fresh political conversations, especially as speculation around his future political ambitions continues to grow. Nyamira County MCAs Who Attended A total of 12 MCAs from Nyamira County were part of the delegation that travelled to Narok. They included: James Mating’a – Kemera Ward Jeremiah Ongaro – Ekerenyo Ward Henry Obwaya – Gachuba Ward Chris Osiemo – Nyamaiya Ward Duke Masira – Township Ward Samuel Ogeto – Manga Ward Josiah Mangera – Esise Ward Elijah Abere – Special Elect Charles Keganda – Bosamaro Ward Alfayo Ngeresa – Mekenene Ward Julius Matwere – Bonyamatuta Ward George Abuga – Bogichora Ward Their attendance showed strong political interest from Nyamira leaders in the gathering.

Political Significance of the Event While the ceremony was officially a homecoming event for Jubilee Secretary General Ole Kenta, political observers believe it carried much deeper significance. Fred Matiang’i’s appearance alongside elected leaders from Kisii and Nyamira is likely to fuel discussions about his political future and possible national ambitions. Many supporters in the Gusii region have continued to call for Matiang’i to take a bigger role in national politics, especially as the country slowly shifts focus toward the 2027 elections. The presence of MCAs, who are key grassroots mobilizers, is often viewed as an early sign of political organization and strategy. Growing Influence Ahead of 2027 As political alliances continue to form across the country, leaders are increasingly using public events like homecoming ceremonies to show strength and build networks. For Matiang’i, the Narok visit was more than just attendance—it was also a visible display of regional support and political relevance. For the MCAs who travelled with him, the trip signaled loyalty, alignment, and interest in the bigger political conversations shaping the future. Whether this translates into a formal political movement remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—the Gusii political landscape is becoming more active as 2027 draws closer.
