Advocate of the High Court Ndegwa Njiru has described former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s return to politics as a state-sponsored "project to divide the opposition." Speaking on Spice FM, Njiru warned that Matiang’i’s re-entry is designed to disrupt opposition unity.

• Ndegwa Njiru criticized Matiang'i for neglecting his home constituency politics in favor of focusing on Mt Kenya.
• Njiru also highlighted Matiang’i’s departure from Kenya during investigations into the Ruaraka land saga, stating he "ran away when there was an attempt to arrest him."
• The opposition is undergoing internal realignments, with a team of six, including presidential aspirants Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Justin Muturi, Eugene Wamalwa, Rigathi Gachagua, and Fred Matiang’i, yet to select a flagbearer.

Tensions are rising within the Kenyan opposition following former Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s meetings with rival political figures, leading to concerns from the DCP (Democratic Change Party), led by Rigathi Gachagua, that his alliances may destabilize opposition unity ahead of 2027.

• The DCP fears Matiang’i’s recent political actions undermine their internal cohesion.
• Njeri Kahiga, the DCP National Youth Coordinator, accused Matiang'i of betraying the opposition by "dining with our party leader’s rivals."
• Matiang'i recently attended worship at the Tent Revival Church in Kajiado County.
