Jubilee Party’s presidential aspirant Fred Matiang’i has announced plans to establish offices in all 47 counties as part of a nationwide effort to revive the outfit.

The move also seeks to reclaim its support base ahead of the 2027 elections.

On Monday, Matiang’i said the move is aimed at reconnecting with supporters who have drifted to other political outfits and popularising Jubilee.

“Jubilee is ready to return to government and continue the impactful work it began,” Matiang’ said.

He was speaking during an Iftar with party members in Kongowea, Nyali constituency.

 The event was organised by Jubilee national organising secretary Yasir Noor.

Matiang’i highlighted the party’s enduring legacy in the Coast region through projects such as the Dongo Kundu bypass, blue economy initiatives, and enhanced security measures.

He urged residents to register as voters and join the party, outlining plans for targeted grassroots engagements with youth, women and persons with disabilities to strengthen Jubilee’s presence nationwide.

He argued that many Kenyans are eager for the party’s return to leadership, citing its record in delivering transformative projects and programmes.

Matiang’i also called on residents from other counties living in Mombasa to register locally and support Jubilee candidates.

“Leadership should be inclusive. Young people, who form the majority, must be empowered, and women candidates should receive greater support,” he said.

“Politics should unite us, not divide us. We must pursue leadership with decorum to preserve peace in our communities.”

Noor praised Matiang’i’s previous record as cabinet secretary, noting that Nyali had 15 chiefs during his tenure, school enrolment was higher and acquiring identity cards was easier.

The official expressed concern over the limited opportunities for youths under the current government, citing unexplained deaths and financial barriers to education.

Jubilee Party deputy secretary general Beatrice Gambo credited key infrastructure projects, such as the Dongo Kundu bypass and the Port of Lamu, to former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

She accused the current administration of taking credit for initiatives it did not launch.

“Some leaders are replacing plaques bearing President Uhuru’s name with their own, taking credit for projects they did not initiate,” she said.
