Jeremiah Kioni named Jubilee deputy party leader in new changes

The Jubilee Party has made several key appointments to strengthen its organisational structure ahead of the 2027 General Election. 

The party, in a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting chaired by party leader and former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday, named Jeremiah Kioni as the Deputy Party Leader in charge of Operations.

Kioni, who was formerly the Secretary General, is now tasked with strengthening party structures and ensuring compliance with party processes.

Other roles involve coordinating operations from the grassroots to the national level and leading the party’s engagement and alliance-building with key political and societal stakeholders.

He will work alongside Fred Matiang'i, who assumed the role of Deputy Party Leader in October 2025, and is also the party’s presidential candidate. 

Kioni's previous post as the party Secretary General was assigned to former Narok North MP Moitalel Ole Kenta while former Education Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Zack Kinuthia was appointed as the party's Deputy Secretary General.

Former West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi Mogaka was named as Jubilee's Chairperson, while Yassin Noor Haji was appointed as the party's National Organising Secretary.

Lawyer Dan Mwangi was appointed as Jubilee's Executive Director while former Murang'a Senator Kembi Gitura was named the party's Director of Elections. 

At the county level, the party named Nairobi MCA and Deputy Speaker Paul Kados as the National chairperson of the MCA's Caucus owing to his over twenty years of experience at City Hall and strong grassroots networks in the city. 

Former Jubilee National Chairman Saitoti Torome has taken over the leadership of the Jubilee Foundation and will be in charge of Public Policy. 

According to Kioni, the leadership restructure reflects a shift towards strengthening the party wooing voters to join the party ahead of the 2027 polls. 

"These changes reflect a deliberate shift toward rebuilding a disciplined, well-structured, and nationally rooted party capable of articulating clear solutions to the challenges facing Kenyans in contrast to the policy confusion, economic pressure, and governance fatigue being experienced under the current administration," said Kioni in a statement. 

"As the country looks toward 2027, the Jubilee Party reaffirms its commitment to unity, social justice, economic recovery, and leadership that listens to citizens, respects institutions, and delivers practical outcomes not excuses."
