Jubilee Party leaders question Fred Matiang'i's fading influence in Mt Kenya
Jubilee Party leaders have raised concerns over Fred Matiang'i's leadership in the Mt Kenya region. The deputy party leader now faces criticism for failing to secure visibility and support for opposition activities. Some claim he has allowed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to take control of key political tasks.
A group within the Jubilee Party has accused Matiang'i of stepping back from essential duties. They argue he has not actively organised rallies, promoted the party's brand, or ensured media coverage for its candidates. These roles, they say, have instead been filled by Gachagua.
The criticism extends to Matiang'i's perceived inability to rally support in the Mt Kenya region. Party members question whether he can effectively counter Gachagua's growing influence in opposition politics. The concerns highlight a wider debate about leadership and strategy within the Jubilee Party. Leaders close to the matter claim Matiang'i has effectively surrendered key responsibilities. Mobilisation, branding, and securing airtime—once central to his role—now appear to be managed by Gachagua. This shift has left some party members frustrated and uncertain about the future direction of their political efforts.
The dispute places Matiang'i under pressure to reclaim his position as a leading figure in the opposition. His critics insist the party must strengthen its presence in Mt Kenya to remain competitive. How he responds could shape the Jubilee Party's strategy in the coming months.
