Jubilee Party Deputy Leader Jeremiah Kioni has questioned the party’s continued involvement in the Ukombozi Alliance, calling for a fresh coalition arrangement ahead of the 2027 elections.
Kioni said Jubilee should move beyond existing political formations and help establish a broader alliance where participating parties have a meaningful role in decision-making.
Kioni Wants New Coalition
The former Ndaragwa MP said he was unable to understand Jubilee’s current position within the Azimio-Ukombozi arrangement.
He argued that the coalition should be restructured to accommodate more parties and political voices instead of maintaining what he described as an old arrangement.
Kioni’s remarks came shortly after former President Uhuru Kenyatta resigned as chairperson of the coalition’s council following the transfer of Jubilee leadership to former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.
Uhuru’s resignation has not been described as a complete departure from the coalition, with Ukombozi leader Kalonzo Musyoka saying the former president remains part of the political family.
Jubilee’s Position Comes Under Scrutiny
Kioni’s comments place fresh attention on Jubilee’s future within the opposition coalition as preparations for the 2027 General Election continue.
The Ukombozi Alliance, which was formerly known as Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition, currently includes parties such as Jubilee and Wiper and is seeking to bring additional opposition groups into its fold.
The coalition has also been engaging other political formations, including the DCP and Linda Mwananchi Movement, as discussions continue over a wider opposition alliance.
Kioni has therefore called for Jubilee to reconsider its current position and pursue a coalition that gives participating parties a stronger voice.
