Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i has been appointed Deputy Party Leader of the Jubilee Party, marking his formal return to active politics. He will now deputize former President Uhuru Kenyatta in the party’s leadership structure.

The decision was reached during a meeting of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) held in Nairobi on Wednesday, which also endorsed Dr. Matiang’i as Jubilee’s presidential flag bearer in the 2027 General Election.
