Fred Matiang’i has stepped back into the political spotlight with a clear mission that could reshape the fortunes of the Jubilee Party.
The former Interior Cabinet Secretary has rolled out a national campaign that is designed to reconnect with the party’s members, rebuild its grassroots networks, and prepare it for the upcoming presidential nominations.
His approach is not just about political speeches or media appearances, but rather about going directly to the people and listening to their voices.
While addressing youth leaders during a round-table session in Nakuru County on October 3, 2025, Matiang’i laid out his plan to visit all 47 counties, ensuring that no region feels left out.
Each county will host a major gathering that brings together party officials, youth representatives, and community leaders.
He stressed that the campaign will not only focus on cities and towns but will also stretch into villages, which he described as the heartbeat of the Jubilee Party.

For him, rural communities are where the party’s real strength lies, and reconnecting with them is key to bringing the party back to life.
At the Nakuru meeting, Matiang’i urged members to stay united, warning that divisions within the party could damage their chances ahead of the next elections.
He emphasized that unity, discipline, and focus will determine whether Jubilee can rise again, especially with the political scene already shifting towards the 2027 General Election. His campaign, however, is not only about holding rallies but also about creating spaces for dialogue. He promised to use the meetings as platforms where members can share their challenges, propose ideas, and actively shape the party’s reform agenda.
Another central part of Matiang’i’s plan is to target the youth. He highlighted that young people form the backbone of Jubilee’s future and must be given a central role.
Through political education, mentorship, and active involvement, he hopes to transform them from passive supporters into active leaders. He also spoke of recruiting new members during the meetings, a move that could inject fresh energy into the party.
Political observers have noted that Matiang’i’s strategy is more than just a revival plan for Jubilee; it is also a signal of his personal ambition.
He is positioning himself as a serious contender for the presidential ticket. Party insiders suggest that his approach may give him an edge over rivals who rely mainly on high-level endorsements.
The success of this campaign could very well decide who carries the Jubilee flag in 2027.
