Democracy For The Citizens (DCP) Party Deputy Party Leader, Hon. Cleophas Wakhungu Malalah, has issued a strong warning to Mount Kenya residents as the Jubilee Party prepares for a major political comeback.
His remarks come shortly after Jubilee Secretary General, Hon. Jeremiah Kioni, confirmed that the party will hold its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on November 26, 2025, followed by a delegates’ forum to map out strategies ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking in Kiambu, Malalah alleged that the Jubilee Party relaunch is not an independent political move but rather a calculated strategy by President William Ruto and his allies.

According to Malalah, the move is intended to dilute the influence of the DCP party in the Mount Kenya region and weaken the growing political stature of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Jubilee is a project being used by the President to confuse Mount Kenya voters. They know very well that UDA cannot be sold in this region, so they are tactically repositioning themselves in other parties,” Malalah told residents.
The DCP deputy leader argued that the relaunch of Jubilee is a political trap meant to divide the Mount Kenya vote ahead of 2027.
He insisted that Gachagua remains the only leader in the region who has consistently stood for the interests of the people, and urged voters to reject any attempts to use alternative parties as political Trojan horses.
Malalah’s remarks come at a time of heightened political activity, with parties realigning and strengthening their bases in preparation for what is expected to be a hotly contested election.
Jubilee, once a dominant force in Kenyan politics, has faced internal wrangles and declining popularity since the 2022 elections, but its upcoming NEC meeting is seen as a signal of renewed ambition.
On the other hand, the DCP party, under the leadership of Rigathi Gachagua, has positioned itself as the voice of Mount Kenya residents who feel sidelined in the current administration. Malalah’s call for vigilance is seen as an attempt to consolidate the region behind DCP ahead of the polls.
As November 26 draws closer, political observers will be keen to see whether Jubilee can reassert itself as a serious contender or if Malalah’s warnings will resonate with Mount Kenya voters.
