"Jeremiah Kioni Dumped, Fred Matiangi Doomed" Prof Mutahi Ngunyi Exposes Kenyatta Family 2027-2032 Strategy

Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has fired a fresh salvo over Jubilee Party’s internal leadership shake-up, alleging a long-term succession plan orchestrated by the Kenyatta family. 

The focus of his commentary is the recent move that saw Jeremiah Kioni shifted from Jubilee secretary-general to deputy party leader—a change Ngunyi describes as a calculated “demotion.”

On social media, Ngunyi framed the shake-up as part of a larger strategy to position key figures for the 2027 and 2032 elections. 

He warned that former Cabinet Secretary and Jubilee deputy party leader Fred Matiangi, who publicly announced Kioni’s reassignment, is set to follow a similar fate. 

“Matiangi will also be used and dumped. Kenyattas will field Matiangi in 2027. He will be engineered to fail. He is a decoy,” Ngunyi wrote.

According to Ngunyi, the real endgame is the eventual rise of Muhoho Kenyatta, who could be positioned as Jubilee’s presidential candidate in 2032. 

Meanwhile, the political scientist sees Matiangi’s potential candidacy in 2027 as possibly symbolic rather than substantive—a move designed to test public and political response ahead of the next election cycle.
