Jubilee Deputy Party Leader Fred Matiang’i has assured aspirants of fair and transparent nominations ahead of the 2027 General Election, as the party intensifies preparations across the country.

Speaking during consultations with more than 950 Jubilee aspirants drawn from Kisii, Migori and Kuria regions on Friday, April 24, 2026, Matiang’i said the party is committed to upholding integrity in its internal processes.

“I emphasised our resolve to deliver nominations that are credible, inclusive, and transparent,” he said.

He urged aspirants to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and remain aligned with the party’s founding principles of unity, service, and accountability, noting that Jubilee is focused on addressing the priorities of Kenyans.

Grassroots mobilisation and opposition alignment

The consultations form part of a wider nationwide mobilisation effort by the party and its partners within the United Opposition. Matiang’i has been engaging supporters in different regions as part of efforts to consolidate political support ahead of the next election cycle.

During a recent visit to Nyeri and Nyandarua counties, he called on residents to rally behind his presidential bid. “Si mnajua vile nilifanya nikiwa Waziri, nitaendelea hivyo viyo,” he said while addressing supporters.

Local leaders present at the meetings expressed support for his candidature, with some urging him to continue engaging directly with voters across regions.

Party strategy and leadership backing

Jubilee’s National Executive Committee endorsed Matiang’i as the party’s presidential flagbearer and a key link within the broader opposition coalition. The move followed consultations led by party leader Uhuru Kenyatta.

The party has also been working to strengthen its structures and coordination mechanisms as it prepares for nominations and the general election.

Earlier in the year, community leaders in the Gusii region endorsed Matiang’i in a ceremony aimed at rallying regional support for his national campaigns.

Policy focus and next steps

Matiang’i has outlined policy priorities focusing on economic reforms and governance. In recent remarks, he criticised the government-to-government fuel import model, saying it would be reviewed.

“If we were in government, we would not sign that kind of G-to-G arrangement,” he said.

He added that reforms would target transparency in procurement and the operations of the National Oil Corporation of Kenya.

As Jubilee continues its preparations, the party says it will prioritise inclusive participation in nominations while strengthening its national outreach ahead of the 2027 General Election.
