Mombasa: Jubilee Party Presidential hopeful Dr Fred Matiang’i has unveiled plans to open offices across all 47 counties as part of an ambitious strategy to rejuvenate the party and reclaim its support base ahead of next year’s polls. Speaking in Nyali Constituency during an Iftar dinner with party members, Dr Matiang’i said the initiative is aimed at popularizing the party and reconnecting with supporters who may have shifted allegiance to other political outfits.
According to Kenya News Agency, Dr Matiang’i affirmed that Jubilee is ready to return to government and continue its work, citing the party’s legacy through projects such as the Dongo Kundu bypass and the Blue Economy initiatives. He urged Nyali residents to register as voters and join the Jubilee Party to help shape the country’s leadership. Dr Matiang’i also revealed plans to engage with youth, women, and Persons Living with Disabilities to revitalize the party ahead of the polls.
Dr Matiang’i noted that many Kenyans are looking forward to the return of the Jubilee administration, referencing its track record in implementing projects and programs. He encouraged upcountry residents living in Mombasa to register as voters where they reside and support Jubilee candidates. The presidential hopeful pledged to empower young people and called for increased support for women candidates.
Jubilee National Organizing Secretary Yasir Noor emphasized prioritizing youth in employment opportunities, expressing confidence in Matiang’i’s leadership based on his past performance as Cabinet Secretary. Noor highlighted that during Matiang’i’s tenure, Nyali Constituency had 15 chiefs and obtaining identity cards was easier. He lamented the lack of opportunities for young people under the current administration and called for unity among party members.
A resident, Ms. Beatrice Gambo, credited key infrastructure projects to the tenure of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing the current administration of taking undue credit. She claimed that some leaders are replacing plaques bearing Kenyatta’s name with their own, asserting responsibility for projects they did not initiate.
