Main Story:
After a long stretch of silence and infighting, the Jubilee Party appears to be making a political comeback. On Monday, the party held its first National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting since resolving internal legal battles that had crippled its operations.
The meeting was chaired virtually by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Jubilee’s party leader, and attended by key officials at the party’s Nairobi headquarters.
The NEC meeting comes after a series of court rulings that favoured Uhuru-aligned officials, effectively reclaiming control of the party from rival factions. The disputes had thrown Jubilee into chaos, leading to confusion over leadership, suspended meetings, and even the risk of deregistration.
Now, with those hurdles cleared, the party is setting its sights on a structured internal overhaul and a clear political direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Although details of the meeting remain under wraps, insiders say the agenda included strengthening grassroots structures, reviewing the party’s constitution, and exploring future alliances.
Uhuru’s continued involvement even virtually sends a strong signal that the former ruling party may not be out of the political game just yet.
Observers say the NEC meeting could mark the beginning of Jubilee’s attempt to reposition itself as a formidable force, especially amid shifting political loyalties and a crowded opposition space.
With court battles behind them and Uhuru back in the driver’s seat at least virtually Jubilee’s revival story might just be getting started. But can the party reclaim its lost glory?
