Former Chief Justice David Maraga has dismissed accusations that he is attempting to sabotage former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i's presidential ambitions.

Maraga has stated that he will not decline a call from Kenyans to run against President William Ruto in 2027, placing him at odds with those supporting Matiang'i.

Both men are from the Abagusii community.

On Sunday, Maraga was confronted by a Nyamira Member of the County Assembly (MCA) who questioned the timing of his announcement regarding his presidential bid.
