On August 26, 2019, Jubilee Party's Secretary General Raphael Tuju confirmed that the party would be fielding a candidate in the Kibra by-election.
According to Tuju, the party's analysis and consultations have confirmed that Jubilee Party is competitive enough in the forthcoming political contest.
He cited the neighbouring Lang'ata constituency, which was won by a Jubilee candidate contrary to conventional political analysis, as evidence of the party's competitiveness.
Party members interested in contesting the seat on a Jubilee party ticket are required to forward their applications to the National Elections Board by the party's dictates.
It is worth noting that since last year's March handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, the two biggest parties have respected each other and not fielded candidates against each other in the by-elections of Wajir West, Embakasi South, and Ugenya.
