The Jubilee Party has chosen former Interior CS Dr. Fred Matiang’i as their Presidential candidate come 2027 general election.
Revealing the news was Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni who said that the former CS is the suitable candidate to beat incumbent President William Ruto.
During his Saturday address in Narok, Kioni urged Kenyans to register in large numbers so as to have their votes ready come the 2027 elections.

“We as the Jubilee Party, we have our own candidate, Matiang’i; aende wachuane na wale wengine tuhakikishe Kasongo ameenda nyumbani asubuhi na mapema. For that to happen, lazima muanze kufanya registration, musikize maneno kwa watu na hatutaki vita.
If we all agree to come together and vote, Ruto will not win even if he appoints Kimani Ichung’wah or Kamket as IEBC Chairperson. Lazima tukubaliane kama wakenya kwamba William Ruto na watu wake wote are very wrong people for Kenya,” he said
The news comes at a time when Gusii leaders led by Senator Onyonka endorsed Matiang’i as their Presidential candidate saying that a win for Matiang’i is a win for the region.
“As the Gusii community, we have decided our candidate in the 2027 elections is Fred Matiang’i, and we won’t back down. We have decided that if you have a dysfunctional country and institutions are not sharing the cake equitably then you must look for alternatives and force those in power to share the resources equitably, and one of the approaches is setting our own political parties.” said Senator Onyonka
