The survey explored whether citizens would support former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i if he entered the presidential race, sparking animated discussions across social media.
The responses revealed a nation split in opinion. Many praised Matiang’i for his tough leadership style and dedication to public service, describing him as a disciplined leader capable of restoring order and transparency in government.
On the other hand, some respondents argued that his success would rely heavily on the political alliances he forms and how well he positions himself within the opposition.
A number of participants suggested that Matiang’i could strengthen his chances by partnering with experienced figures such as former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka.
Others felt his candidacy would stand a better chance if he became the face of a unified opposition determined to challenge President William Ruto’s administration.
Regional loyalty and party affiliation also played a significant role in shaping opinions.
Some Kenyans tied their preferences to traditional political bases, while others emphasized the need for national unity and a break from ethnic-based politics.
Kalonzo Musyoka’s name featured prominently, with many seeing him as a crucial figure in determining the future of the opposition or even as a potential presidential contender.
Previous polls have often placed him among the leading opposition figures with the ability to mount a serious challenge against Ruto.
The poll also underscored the president’s influence, with several respondents expressing faith in his ability to retain power in 2027.
However, others insisted that only a cohesive and well-organized opposition could offer a strong alternative.
Although the poll drew widespread attention, it was informal and reflected social media opinions rather than a scientifically verified assessment of voter preferences.
