Nairobi. President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto on Tuesday set the agenda for the Jubilee Party, which they plan to use to seek re-election in next year’s polls.
President Kenyatta announced that the party would be formally launched during a national convention on September 9 to 10.
Uniting parties
Affiliate parties will be wound up on September 8 at simultaneous conventions to formalise resolutions to fold their entities and join the new outfit.
President Kenyatta also announced that the new party’s primaries will be conducted by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for transparency and fairness.
He said there are no preferred candidates for any elective post.
“Nobody should stand and say I have been sent by the President, I have been sent by Deputy President…we shall work with those [whom] people have chosen,” he said on Tuesday at State House in Nairobi.
President Kenyatta said he is staking his legacy on political unity and forming a strong political movement that will unite Kenyans.
