Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has revived his 2022 campaign message, saying he had earlier warned Kenyans against electing the current administration, arguing that many of the challenges the country is experiencing today were issues he had cautioned about during the election period.
Speaking during a Jubilee Party delegates meeting held at Kiambu Golf Club, Uhuru urged residents of Kiambu and the wider Mt Kenya region to reflect critically on their political choices ahead of the 2027 General Election, saying leadership should be anchored on service delivery rather than political rhetoric.
“I warned you in 2022, but you didn’t listen. Now you are crying,” he said, adding that voters should remain alert during campaigns and make informed decisions at the ballot based on performance and long-term national interest.
“When they come to your areas, kindly take the money, but when the election comes, vote wisely,” he added.
Uhuru further called for unity in the Mt Kenya region and across the country, warning against divisive politics that could undermine development and weaken community cohesion. He said leaders should focus on national stability and avoid inflammatory language during political engagements.
He also noted that Jubilee Party remains active and is undergoing grassroots reorganisation as part of its broader strategy to rebuild its support base and remain competitive ahead of the next election cycle.
In remarks echoed by leaders present, including Waruiru, the meeting was told that Mt Kenya leaders must avoid internal divisions and instead strengthen unity to increase the region’s bargaining power in national politics. Former Murang’a senior politician Kembi Gitura also reportedly emphasized the need for structured leadership and disciplined political engagement as the region prepares for the 2027 polls.
Party officials further indicated that ongoing engagements are part of a wider plan to reposition Jubilee Party within Kenya’s evolving political landscape, with a focus on strengthening grassroots structures and regaining influence in key regions.
