The Jubilee Party is preparing for a major gathering at the Ngong Racecourse where retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, as the party leader, will convene the National Delegates Conference later this month.
This meeting, scheduled for September 26, 2025, is expected to bring together delegates from across the country to chart the way forward for the former ruling party at a time when political realignments are slowly taking shape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In his announcement, Uhuru pointed to the importance of the conference in fulfilling the provisions of the Jubilee Party constitution. He explained that the delegates’ convention was in line with a notice issued on August 5, 2025, which was passed after the National Executive Committee meeting.
This meeting resolved that the NDC should take place within one month to allow members to agree on important matters concerning the party’s future.
The conference will be held at the Jockey Club in Ngong Racecourse, with members expected to deliberate on both constitutional and policy matters that could shape the party’s standing in the coming years.
Among the main issues lined up for discussion are the review and approval of the party’s constitution, organs, and programs, as well as policy formulation and adoption.
Delegates will also receive a status report from the National Executive Committee, giving members a clear picture of where the party stands after several years of internal disputes and court battles.
It will also be an opportunity to endorse or amend programs that may guide Jubilee as it tries to regain ground in national politics.
The NEC resolutions made earlier in August will form part of the agenda. These include not only the call for the NDC but also discussions on leadership structure and the strategic direction of the party.
Uhuru Kenyatta, as the party leader, is expected to play a central role in guiding these conversations and giving direction on how Jubilee should position itself in the current political climate.
His leadership is seen as important in uniting members and helping the party find relevance at a time when the ruling coalition and opposition formations are both working to secure stronger positions ahead of 2027.
This conference comes at a critical time, with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission preparing to conduct several by-elections across the country.
Political parties are already beginning to regroup and reorganize themselves, signaling the early stages of realignment that usually precede a general election.
For Jubilee, the Ngong Racecourse gathering is not only about internal matters but also about sending a message to the political class and the public that the party still has a role to play in shaping Kenya’s political future.
The Jubilee Party hopes to reestablish stability and possibly reclaim lost ground as one of the country’s influential political players.
The September 26 conference will therefore mark a decisive moment that could determine whether the party strengthens itself ahead of 2027 or continues to struggle with identity and leadership challenges.
