Jubilee replaces 8 politicians who landed lucrative State jobs

The Jubilee party has instituted leadership changes in the National Executive Committee (NEC) to replace politicians who landed plum State jobs.

In a statement shared on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, the party announced that the changes effected by the party’s NEC will replace eight officials.

In the changes, Beatrice Gambo will take over as the Deputy Party leader (Outreach) following the exit of

Similarly, Joseph Manje will take over as the party’s programs deputy leader replacing Peter Ole Mositet who landed a role as chairperson Namata.
