Jubilee’s decline is linked to a lack of sustained focus on strengthening party organs, grassroots mobilisation, and internal organisation. Without consistent leadership attention, the party’s foundation has weakened over time.
Critics argue that leadership became increasingly distracted by broader national political confrontations, leaving Jubilee without steady, hands-on guidance to steer day-to-day strategy and party renewal.
A strong political party requires a clear ideology and agenda. Jubilee, however, is widely seen as lacking a compelling and modernised vision that can unite members and attract new support.
Leadership gaps allowed internal divisions to deepen, with competing factions and inconsistent messaging emerging. This weakened unity, discipline, and the party’s ability to act cohesively.
Kenya’s political landscape has shifted, but Jubilee is often criticised for failing to adapt effectively. Leadership is seen as not repositioning the party to appeal to younger voters or respond to new national priorities.
