Former President Uhuru Kenyatta regained full control of the Jubilee Party.
This follows a High Court ruling that validated key resolutions made during the party’s National Delegates Convention (NDC) in May 2023.
The Civil Division of the Milimani High Court allowed a consent filed by the party’s legal team and key respondents, effectively overturning a previous decision by the Internal Disputes Resolution Committee (IDRC) that had nullified the NDC.
“The National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and the National Delegates Convention (NDC) held on April 28 and May 22, 2023 respectively be and is hereby upheld and consequently the resolutions from the said National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and National Delegates Convention (NDC) respectively be and are hereby upheld.”
Kenyatta is now officially back at the helm of the party, with Saitoti Torome confirmed as National Chairman and Jeremiah Kioni as Secretary General, cementing the leadership team endorsed at the 2023 NDC.
The court also affirmed the process by the 2023 NDC.
“The resolutions of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and the National Delegates Convention (NDC) held on 28th April and 22nd May 2023 respectively, be conveyed to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) for adoption.”
Jubilee’s legal team has now confirmed that the party is in the process of submitting the validated NDC resolutions to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) for formal adoption.
