Former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i would beat Raila if elections were held today according to Research 8020 survey report.
A survey shows that if elections were held today, most Kenyans would choose former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i to become president over opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Research 8020 in a statement reported that Matiang’i has gained considerable popularity, surpassing notable political figures such as Raila Odinga and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
“Most Kenyans would prefer a new president who is not one of the current prominent politicians. Interestingly Fred Matiangi has significantly gained popularity, surpassing Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka,” the statement read in part.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has been on the spot after he recently seemed to align himself with the Kenya Kwanza government, forming a broad-based government.
This was presumed after Ruto appointed several members affiliated with ODM to his newly formed Cabinet.
This happened at a time when Kenyans, particularly the youth, have been staging protests against Ruto’s government. This has created a rift within the Azimio la Umoja Coalition, leading to the exit of figures such as Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua.

Matiang’i has also garnered praise from national leaders, including Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, for his outstanding performance when he served the country in different capacities.
The survey revealed that over 11 million respondents preferred a new leader, while 2.7 million would keep William Ruto as president.
Additionally, 2.6 million favored Fred Matiang’i, 1.2 million chose Raila Odinga, and 1.07 million supported Kalonzo Musyoka.
Recently, amid protests by Gen Z against the Finance Bill and demanding accountability from the Kenya Kwanza government, Matiang’i’s name resurfaced, with some advocating for his return to Kenya and potential presidential candidacy.
