A quiet but far-reaching power shift has taken place within the former ruling Jubilee Party. During a National Executive Council meeting chaired by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni was reassigned to the position of Deputy Party Leader, while former Narok North MP Moitalel Ole Kenta was appointed the new Secretary General.The Secretary General’s office is widely viewed as one of the most powerful positions in the party, effectively making Ole Kenta the new public voice and administrative head of Jubilee. Party insiders say the changes are less about promotion and more about tightening control of the party’s direction and internal affairs.
