Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has re-emerged on the political scene, calling for a special national delegates convention of the Jubilee Party to strategize for the 2027 General Election. This move, along with recent high-profile meetings, signals his continued influence in Kenyan politics after three years out of office.

• Kenyatta issued a 21-day notice for the convention to be held at the Jockey Club in Nairobi.
• The Jubilee Party reportedly discussed potential 2027 flagbearers, including former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i and possibly backing ODM leader Raila Odinga.
• The announcement followed a recent meeting between Kenyatta and President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi, during an EAC and SADC joint meeting on DRC peace.
