• He made these remarks at the funeral service of Peter Munya's grandmother, Judith Mwakairo, in Muthara, Tigania East Constituency, Meru County.
• PNU party leader Peter Munya insisted that the opposition's flag bearer must emerge through public preference, not boardroom decisions.
• Jubilee's Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni affirmed that Matiang'i is the party's preferred presidential candidate for the United Opposition.
• Matiang'i vowed to restore the Linda Mama program and cease the "affordable housing" initiative if elected as president.
