The duo’s entry into Murang’a County, captured in a video that has since gone viral, has sparked excitement and fresh debate over the 2027 presidential race.
In the footage, Matiang’i is seen emerging confidently from a motorcade dressed in full Jubilee Party regalia as crowds cheer and wave. Residents turned out in large numbers, lining the roads and gathering at Muthithi Shopping Centre to catch a glimpse of the former powerful minister.
The reception, marked by chants and celebration, suggested growing enthusiasm for a united opposition front.

As Gachagua addressed the gathering, Matiang’i dramatically emerged through his car’s sunroof, further energizing the crowd. The moment has been widely interpreted as a calculated show of strength, signaling that Matiang’i’s presidential ambitions are no longer speculative but actively taking shape.
