Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has demanded answers from Jubilee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta over what he describes as serious uncertainty surrounding the legitimacy of the party’s top officials.
In a letter dated 7th April 2026, Wambugu questioned whether the current office bearers and decision-makers within Jubilee are lawfully in office, warning that the confusion could render the party’s decisions invalid.
He said inquiries already undertaken point to inconsistencies in the lawful filing, recognition, and regularization of key officials, raising doubts about the party’s internal governance.
“From the information presently available and from inquiries already undertaken, there appears to be serious uncertainty and possible inconsistency regarding the lawful filing, recognition, status, and regularization of certain key Jubilee Party officials and office bearers,” Wambugu said.
The former MP argued that the issue goes beyond routine administration, touching on the very legitimacy of the party’s leadership and the enforceability of its decisions.
According to him, members deserve transparency on who currently holds office, which officials have been duly recognized by the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, and whether the National Executive Committee (NEC) is properly constituted under the party’s constitution and the Political Parties Act.
“This is not a minor administrative issue,” Wambugu emphasized. “It goes to the validity, legitimacy, and enforceability of every major decision purportedly being taken in the name of the party. If there is uncertainty, irregularity, incompleteness, contradiction, or lack of clarity in the filing, recognition, or gazettement of office bearers, then members are entitled to know.”
Wambugu’s intervention adds pressure on Kenyatta to clarify the party’s internal structure and ensure compliance with the Political Parties Act.
It also reflects growing unease among members who fear that unresolved leadership questions could weaken Jubilee’s political standing ahead of future elections.
As of Tuesday, the Jubilee Party leadership had not issued an official response to Wambugu’s concerns.
