The ex-President indicated his commitment to supporting the party and relinquishing his leadership position once it achieves stability. He also responded to critics from opposing parties who have challenged his ongoing political presence despite his retirement status.
“People from Kenya Kwanza frequently question why I haven’t handed over the party to focus on retirement. However, they are the ones who disrupted Jubilee and attempted to undermine it from within, something I could not permit,” Uhuru declared to an enthusiastic audience, noting his current assurance that the party is now under reliable management.
Uhuru publicly endorsed his choice of successor, former Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i, committing to back his campaign for Kenya’s sixth presidency.

“Let them understand this: Uhuru will remain active and traverse the country freely without requiring anyone’s consent. He serves as our party chief and will persist in providing us with guidance for the future,” Gitura affirmed
