Former President Uhuru Kenyatta will Friday chair the Jubilee Party’s Special National Delegates Convention (NDC), a meeting expected to give direction to the party after years of internal wrangles.
The disputes began after a faction led by nominated MP Sabina Chege and EALA legislator Kanini Kega attempted to take over the party, sparking a prolonged standoff.
All attention is now on Uhuru’s address at the NDC, where members and supporters are eager to hear his guidance and the party’s plans ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speculation remains that former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i could play a key role in Jubilee’s future, after he recently held a consultative meeting with members as part of his nationwide listening tour.
Jubilee Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni said the engagement with Matiang’i was in preparation for the NDC, describing it as a reaffirmation of unity and renewal within the party.
“Today, I had the privilege of leading a
consultative meeting with former Jubilee Party members of Parliament alongside
Hon. Fred Matiang’i and other leaders. Together, we reflected on our shared
journey and laid the ground for the Jubilee Party NDC this Friday. This
gathering is more than preparation; it is a reaffirmation of our commitment to
unity, renewal, and a politics defined by purpose. Jubilee’s story is still
being written, and together we move," he said.
All eyes and ears are on the special NDC to know the path
the party will take going forward, with many people calling for clarity on who the party officials.
“Let the former president make it clear to us who are leading
the party and in what position, you are confusing us,” one social media user
posted.
