A section of Jubilee party leaders surprised their Secretary-General, Jeremiah Kioni, with a birthday cake to celebrate his 60th birthday at the party headquarters in Nairobi. George Maara, the interim Jubilee party chairman for Kiambu county, led over 50 leaders in a courtesy call on Tuesday to express their support for the party leadership.
"Our SG birthday was on February 19 but he could not celebrate it since he had been tied up in court in Nyeri in solidarity with our old women who have been taken to court," Damaris Waiganjo a Kiambaa constituency leader said.
Maara stated that their commitment to the party is rooted in their belief in its manifesto and ideologies. He emphasized that they are actively working on the ground to promote the party, recruiting new members, and persuading those who had previously shifted to other parties to come back.
"We as Jubilee leaders who had vied and lost seats including diehards of the party paid the secretary general a courtesy call to express our commitment to the party and to also forge a way forward within Kiambu county," Maara said.

Expressing their concerns, the leaders highlighted the issue of individuals falsely claiming to be associated with Jubilee in the county, asserting that such actions were motivated by selfish gains.
"There are some people who have seen that the Jubilee party is gaining popularity and they are now out masquerading that they are the party leaders," Mburuti Kinuthia a Komothai ward leader.
"We are intact as leaders and we are going to lead our people towards true leadership and true efforts to support and renew their hopes for a better future."
They said that the party is now stronger than ever and it is working towards delivering an alternative leadership.
Kioni thanked the leaders for the kind gesture.
"Kiambu leaders have shown how much they support their party and respect their party leadership and I am touched by the love they have accorded me," he said.
Kioni said that the party is on the ground across the country fostering unity and recruiting members.
"The people have a voice and the writing is on the wall. We are focused as a party to give the people a platform that speaks their mind," Kioni said.
However, Kioni urged all party loyalists to join hands, actively participate, and contribute to building the party. He emphasized the importance of forming a robust team that will propel Jubilee into future leadership.
