Jubilee Party Calls for Transparent Process to Choose Presidential Flag Bearer in 2027

Jubilee Party national leadership has called for a transparent and scientific method to select its presidential flag bearer ahead of the 2027 General Election. 

Party officials emphasized that the decision should not be made behind closed doors in boardroom meetings, warning that such an approach could compromise the chances of the preferred candidate.

Vincent Kemosi Mogaka, the party’s National Chairman, assured members that nominations in 2027 will be conducted fairly and openly. 

Speaking during a visit to the Kirinyaga County Jubilee office in Kutus, Mogaka stressed that no aspirant would be awarded a direct nomination ticket without going through the proper party processes.

He was accompanied by Zack Kinuthia, the party’s National Deputy Secretary General, and local Jubilee chairman Mureithi Kang'ara.

Together, they reassured party members that the selection process would be democratic, inclusive, and designed to identify the candidate best positioned to unite the party and appeal to voters in the general election.

The Jubilee leadership also announced plans to expand the party’s presence across the country.

Mogaka revealed that presidential hopeful Fred Matiang'i would be responsible for opening Jubilee offices in all 47 counties, a move intended to strengthen grassroots structures and enhance engagement with party members nationwide.

Party officials highlighted the importance of following established guidelines and using objective criteria in selecting candidates.

By adopting a scientific approach, Jubilee hopes to avoid internal disputes and ensure that all aspirants have an equal opportunity to compete.

The leadership emphasized that internal democracy is key to maintaining party unity and building confidence among supporters.

Mogaka also noted that the 2027 nominations will focus on transparency, fairness, and adherence to party rules.

He reassured members that the national leadership would supervise the process to prevent irregularities and protect the integrity of the election.

This includes monitoring delegate selection, verifying aspirants’ credentials, and ensuring that all candidates meet the party’s requirements.

Analysts say that Jubilee’s emphasis on a scientific and transparent nomination process reflects growing pressure on political parties to democratize internal decision-making.

Ensuring fairness at the party level is seen as critical to winning voter confidence and avoiding conflicts that could weaken the party ahead of the national elections.
