Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i welcomed the proposal for Uhuru Kenyatta to lead the Jubilee Party on an interim basis. The move comes as the party prepares for its National Delegates Conference. Matiang’i spoke in Nairobi during a party ceremony on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. The transition follows recent internal discussions within the party. Kenyatta, a former president, is set to take over leadership until the NDC concludes. The event marked a key moment in the party’s leadership structure. The NDC will determine the permanent leadership. Political analysts note this shift reflects ongoing internal dynamics. The interim leadership aims to stabilize the party ahead of the conference.
