Matiang’i meets teachers’ representatives as he extends grassroots engagements
By Kenneth Mwenda, June 23, 2026Jubilee Deputy Party leader Fred Matiang’i has met teachers, grassroots leaders and community representatives in Kegonga Town, where he held discussions with officials from the Kenya National Union of Teachers and local leaders on education challenges, service delivery and development needs in the area.
The Jubilee Party deputy leader held the engagement on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 general election.
Teachers and residents raised concerns about education, service delivery, and development gaps in Kuria East Constituency. Matiang’i emphasised the importance of inclusive leadership, strong institutions, and meaningful engagement with citizens as Kenya works towards a more prosperous and united future.
“A warm reception from the people of Kegonga, Kuria East Constituency this afternoon. Together, we continue building momentum for the Kenya we all deserve,” he posted on X shortly after the meeting.
This engagement fits into a wider pattern of activity within the Jubilee Party as it intensifies early preparations for the 2027 General Election.
2027 Jubilee strategy meetings
On June 15, 2026, Matiang’i chaired a high-level meeting at Jubilee headquarters in Nairobi with grassroots leaders and county chairpersons drawn from all 47 counties. The party focused on reorganisation, outreach, and early planning for 2027.
Party officials said the meeting resolved to strengthen party structures from the grassroots, launch a nationwide membership drive, deepen engagement with all sectors of society, and officially begin preparations for the 2027 General Election.
Secretary General Moitalel Ole Kenta and other leaders highlighted economic hardships such as the high cost of living and unemployment, saying the party would adopt a people-centred approach.
A few days earlier, on June 11, 2026, Jubilee received a delegation of young leaders and aspirants led by Kimani Mbugua. The group left their former political parties and joined Jubilee, which the party described as a sign of growing youth demand for inclusion.
The party said:
“Our Secretary General had the privilege of receiving a delegation of vibrant young leaders led by Hon. Kimani Mbugua, who together with several aspirants and grassroots mobilisers, made the bold decision to leave their former political parties and join the Jubilee Party.”
It added that young people are seeking a political home built on inclusivity and genuine leadership rather than being used only during campaigns.
Matiang’i has consistently pushed for youth involvement, saying Jubilee aims to expand offices across all 47 counties to create space for emerging leaders.
