Former ruling party Jubilee intends to start an intense grassroots campaign in preparations for the next general elections. The party’s Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni said the party aims to reclaim its glory and get back to power in 2027.

Speaking when he met the party members in Murang’a, Kioni said the party will front candidates in all the elective posts in the coming general elections.

He however said they haven’t decided on the party’s presidential candidate but they are open to work with like minded political outfits. “For now our presidential candidate is ‘Ruto must go’ and it’s not a question of whether people hate him or not but who will replace him and how do we get the next president,” he remarked.

Kioni said the party will embark on driving the development agenda claiming that the current government has not delivered even a single project for the past two years. “There is no other party this far that has a development track record in this country other than the jubilee party and the work that was done in the ten years that the party was in power,” he remarked.

The secretary general said the recruitment for the members will soon kick off across the country pointing out that getting more members will help in strengthening the party.

He rallied the grassroots leaders to sell the party and its policies to the people saying this will help in getting more numbers. He promised a free and fair nomination process for all the candidates.

“Before you sell your name, sell the party and its policies and that way we are going to make it more popular. While they intend to get members from the other parts of the country, Kioni said they have a special focus for Mt Kenya region which is very vocal when it comes to politics.
