Uhuru sets date for special Jubilee delegates meeting

The planned meeting is set to receive a progress report from the National Executive Committee (NEC), review and shape new party policies, and address other key issues that affect the future of the party.
Jubilee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta has called for a Special National Delegates Conference (NDC) scheduled for the end of August, in what is shaping up to be a key turning point for the party’s efforts to re-establish its political strength.
Through a formal notice dated August 5, Uhuru issued a 21-day notification to party members in line with the party’s constitution, inviting delegates to attend the meeting at the Jockey Club in Nairobi.
“Pursuant to Article 8.1 and 10.1 of the Jubilee Party Constitution, 21 days' notice is hereby issued for a Special National Delegates Convention to be held at the Jockey Club, Nairobi, Kenya,” read the statement addressed to members.
The planned meeting is set to receive a progress report from the National Executive Committee (NEC), review and shape new party policies, and address other key issues that affect the future of the party.
This development comes shortly after a Jubilee NEC meeting chaired virtually by Uhuru, the first time he actively engaged party organs following a prolonged period of legal battles that had left Jubilee’s leadership in uncertainty.
Although he did not attend the session in person, his online presence was interpreted as a strong signal of renewed commitment to guiding the party.
The NEC meeting focused on evaluating the current state of the party, tracking progress on ongoing programmes, and laying out plans to strengthen its presence across the country.
“The meeting deliberated on key issues affecting the party, including a comprehensive review of party affairs, progress made on ongoing programmes, and strategic plans for reinvigorating the party’s structures and operations,” read a statement released after the meeting.
Deputy Secretary General Pauline Njoroge termed the NEC session as critical in shaping the party’s future and aligning its internal direction.
“This was a crucial meeting that marks a significant step in reaffirming the Jubilee Party’s ideals, strategic direction, and internal unity,” she said.
She also reaffirmed Jubilee’s position as part of the opposition, saying it remains committed to protecting the rights and interests of Kenyans in an evolving political environment.
The upcoming NDC is expected to play a major role in Jubilee’s ongoing restructuring efforts and its push to regain influence ahead of the next political cycle.
