Jubilee has appointed a three-member committee to review a proposed opposition coalition agreement and explore cooperation with other parties ahead of the 2027 election.
The decision followed a National Executive Committee meeting chaired by Fred Matiang’i on October 27. Resolutions reported the following day named Kembi Gitura as chair, alongside Moitalel Ole Kenta and Janet Ong’era.
Their assignment is to examine the draft Deed of Agreement for the Ukombozi Alliance, recommend changes and engage parties with compatible objectives. The team must return its recommendations to the NEC for consideration.
The move creates an internal process for negotiations. It does not itself settle an opposition presidential candidate, a running mate or a final distribution of positions among prospective allies.
The published account of the resolutions did not give a deadline for the committee’s report or identify the first parties it would approach. Those details will help establish how quickly the initiative moves beyond consultations.
Jubilee also approved acting appointments for Lucy Naisiae Kashu in its Women’s Caucus and Madina Yunis Mahat as deputy national organising secretary. Both decisions were presented as interim arrangements to fill vacancies.
