The Jubilee Party has unveiled a series of strategic leadership appointments aimed at strengthening its organisational structure and positioning itself for the 2027 General Election.
The appointments were made during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting chaired by party leader and former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday.

Formerly the party’s Secretary General, Kioni will now oversee strengthening party structures, ensuring compliance with processes, coordinating operations from grassroots to national level, and spearheading alliance-building with political and societal stakeholders.
- Fred Matiang’i: Continues as Deputy Party Leader (appointed in October 2025) and serves as the party’s presidential candidate.

- Saitoti Torome: Former Jubilee National Chairman appointed to lead the Jubilee Foundation, focusing on Public Policy.
Strategic Focus
According to Kioni, the leadership restructure reflects a deliberate shift toward rebuilding a disciplined, well-structured, and nationally rooted party.
“These changes reflect a deliberate shift toward rebuilding a disciplined, well-structured, and nationally rooted party capable of articulating clear solutions to the challenges facing Kenyans in contrast to the policy confusion, economic pressure, and governance fatigue being experienced under the current administration,” Kioni said in a statement.
He added that as the country looks toward 2027, Jubilee reaffirms its commitment to unity, social justice, economic recovery, and leadership that listens to citizens, respects institutions, and delivers practical outcomes.
Conclusion
The appointments signal Jubilee’s intent to consolidate its base, strengthen grassroots networks, and present itself as a credible alternative in the upcoming elections. With a renewed leadership team and clear strategic direction, the party is positioning itself to play a significant role in shaping Kenya’s political landscape ahead of 2027.
