Uhuru's Jubilee Party now changes venue for NDC

Jubilee Party has announced a change of venue for their National Delegate Conference (NDC) slated for Monday next week.

According to a notice published in the local dailies, the former President Uhuru Kenyatta-led outfit moved its meeting from the initial location at Bomas of Kenya to Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi.

The party further noted that all other details would remain the same as stated last month.

"Notice is hereby given that the venue of the Jubilee NDC has been moved to Ngong Race Course in Nairobi,” read a section of the statement.

“All other details remain as per the notice published on April 29, 2023.”

The change of venue comes after Bomas of Kenya’s Marketing and Corporate Communications Manager Gladys Kangethe wrote to the faction informing them of ongoing renovation works which began on May 16 and are expected to go on for eight weeks.

Embattled Jubilee Vice Chairman David Murathe had said Kenyatta was expected to preside over the special NDC, which was originally intended to take place at the Bomas of Kenya.

“Our meeting is on. We will advertise the venue and also invite our delegates through text messages. They will be notified beforehand,” Murathe told the Nation on Friday.

A section of the party led by EALA MP Kanini Kega has been at loggerheads with the other team led by Jeremiah Kioni over internal leadership wrangles.

Last month, te party was ordered to vacate the premises they currently use as party headquarters in Kileleshwa after the rival factions clashed.

Kega’s team on Friday expelled Kioni and Murathe on allegations of gross misconduct and for failing to respect the party's organs. Jubilee National Treasurer Kagwe Gichohi was also suspended for two years.
