Who Is in Charge of Jubilee? Court Rulings and MP Exodus Leave Party in Turmoil

16th September, 2026

The question of who is in charge of the Jubilee Party has come into sharp focus following a series of court rulings and leadership changes that have left the former ruling party facing uncertainty less than a year to the 2027 General Election.

The High Court barred retired President Uhuru Kenyatta from holding a political party office, while also nullifying the appointment of Moitalel Ole Kenta as Jubilee Party Secretary General.

The developments have further complicated the leadership and management of a party that once dominated Kenya’s political landscape.

Jubilee has also continued to lose sitting Members of Parliament to other political formations, weakening its presence in Parliament and raising questions about its ability to mount an effective political campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.

The leadership uncertainty presents a challenge for former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i, who is seeking to use Jubilee as a political vehicle for his 2027 presidential ambitions.

As the party navigates the legal battles and internal leadership disputes, attention is now turning to who will ultimately steer Jubilee and whether it can reorganize itself ahead of the next election.
