Matiang'i, Ndindi Nyoro, Karua and Orengo to Lead Opposition Tour of Kisii This Sunday

Fred Matiang'i, Ndindi Nyoro, and Martha Karua

Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang'i will visit Kisii County on Sunday, November 15, 2026. He will be joined by People's Liberation Party leader Martha Karua, Siaya Senator James Orengo, and Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, who leads the People's Party of Kenya. 

Matiang'i announced the trip in a post on X on Wednesday, November 11.

The day begins with a church service at ACK Kisii Town. Matiang'i will then meet residents at Capital, Kisii Town, and Keroka Market. He said the visit would open discussions about Kenya's future. He also promised to work toward a stronger, united, and prosperous country.

The trip follows President William Ruto's development tour of the Gusii region, which ran from November 8 to 11, 2026. During the tour, Ruto highlighted projects in roads, electricity, education, affordable housing, and industry. 

He also attacked opposition leaders, especially Rigathi Gachagua. Ruto accused Gachagua of blocking younger politicians. He compared Gachagua to King Herod, saying he targets rising leaders rather than letting them grow.

Ruto also said he and Gachagua should leave the political stage in 2032 so younger leaders can take over. His remarks added to a growing row over opposition plans and who should challenge him in 2027.

Gachagua has hit back. On November 8, speaking at a church service in Isinya, Kajiado County, he accused Ruto's allies of trying to paint him as an enemy of Matiang'i. He also questioned the status of several Kisii and Nyamira projects. 

These included a proposed airport in Kisii, a cancer centre, and Nyamira University. He raised concerns about roads, water, electricity, and sanitation as well. His claims have not been independently verified.

Matiang'i has appeared alongside Karua and Nyoro at several recent events. He has urged fellow opposition politicians to stop fighting and focus on change. 

Karua has backed efforts to bring Nyoro into wider opposition talks. Some Gachagua allies have questioned Nyoro's motives since he left UDA.

The Sunday visit will bring leaders from several parties into a region Ruto has been courting with development promises. Whether the tour will respond directly to the President's remarks or focus on broader opposition goals is still unclear.
