Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has declared that Kenya's increasingly informed voters will no longer tolerate self-serving leaders, warning that the 2027 elections will bring a reckoning for those clinging to old political tricks.

Speaking on Spice FM on Monday, May 5, Kioni doubled down on his push for former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to front Jubilee's comeback, framing Matiang'i not just as a party man but as a leader equipped to meet the demands of a sharper electorate. "I keep vouching for Matiang'i because he has shown real interest in building our party.

For any political promise to be delivered, we need a strong party," said Kioni.

Kioni's statement comes days after Matiang'i officially announced his intention to contest the presidency in 2027.
