Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has announced an ambitious political strategy to ensure the Jubilee Party clinches all 39 elective positions in Nyeri County in the 2027 General Election.
In a statement shared on social media, Wambugu outlined the party’s goal to dominate every level of county leadership, from the ward to the gubernatorial seat.
“In Nyeri County we have 30 elective MCA positions; 7 MP positions (including WR), 1 Senator and 1 Governor. In 2027 I personally intend to ensure that all these 39 positions are taken by Jubilee candidates,” he stated.
The former legislator reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening Jubilee’s presence in the Mt Kenya region, emphasizing that his political focus remains local.
“I am from Mt Kenya and my politics is local. My fight for Jubilee’s space in our region is also local and bila apologies. And at our level there is nothing like Government, or United Opposition or Alternative Government. Hapa kila mtu anatafuta kiti yake,” he said.
Wambugu’s declaration comes days after he wrote to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, seeking clarity on the party’s direction ahead of the 2027 polls. In the letter addressed to Kenyatta in his capacity as Jubilee Party Leader, Wambugu expressed concern over what he termed as growing confusion and dissatisfaction among party members and aspirants nationwide.
“It is critical for aspirants and grassroots organizers to know whether there have been negotiated arrangements with other parties to avoid investing time and resources in areas already ceded,” he noted.
He also questioned the apparent absence of strong Jubilee branding during recent political engagements, arguing that the lack of visible party merchandise such as branded T-shirts and caps has fueled perceptions that the party may be facing internal challenges or informally conceding certain regions to rival formations.
Wambugu’s renewed push signals an effort to re-energize Jubilee’s grassroots networks in Nyeri and across the Mt Kenya region as the party seeks to reclaim its political influence ahead of the next general election.
