The Jubilee Party will have a Special National Delegates Conference (NDC) on September 26, 2025, at the Jockey Club, Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi.
The high-stakes gathering, convened under Articles 8.1 and 10.1 of the party’s constitution, is expected to chart a new course for the former ruling party as it prepares for the next electoral cycle.
A notice signed by Party Leader and former President Uhuru Kenyatta, outlines a robust agenda aimed at revitalizing Jubilee’s internal structures and strategic direction.
Delegates will deliberate on the review, formulation, and approval of the party’s constitution, organs, policies, and programs, alongside receiving a status report from the National Executive Committee (NEC).
Additional matters deemed critical to the party’s future will also be considered.
“The agenda seeks to strengthen the party’s structures and ensure proper alignment with its objectives ahead of the next political cycle,” the notice reads in part.
This Special NDC follows an earlier notice issued on August 5, 2025, and comes in the wake of a pivotal High Court ruling in September 2024 and a gazette notice in June 2025 that reinstated Uhuru Kenyatta’s leadership team, including Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni and Vice-Chair David Murathe.
This happened after a protracted internal dispute with a rival faction led by Kanini Kega and Sabina Chege.
The upcoming conference is widely viewed as a defining moment for Jubilee, which is seeking to reposition itself under the ‘Mbele Pamoja’ banner—a renewed vision emphasizing unity, resilience, and national relevance.
The party’s recent NEC meeting, chaired virtually by Uhuru, marked his first active leadership engagement since the resolution of the leadership crisis and set the tone for the September convention.
With the 2027 General Election on the horizon, the September 26 NDC is expected to attract delegates from across the country and draw significant attention from political observers.
The Party is seeking to rebuild its base, forge new alliances, and reassert its role in Kenya’s evolving political arena.
