NAIROBI,Kenya July 21 – Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Pauline Njoroge has resigned from the Jubilee Party after 14 years, signalling that she is set to formally join the emerging Linda Mwananchi Party, a political outfit still linked to the opposition.

📻 Breaking It Down

In a statement , Njoroge announced her resignation from both the Jubilee Party’s National Executive Committee, where she served as Deputy Organising Secretary, and from the party’s membership with immediate effect.

The communications strategist said her departure marked the end of a transformative political journey that began in 2012 when she joined The National Alliance (TNA) as Communications Manager before it merged with URP to form the Jubilee Party.

“Today, however, I believe the time has come to embrace a new chapter,” she said.

📌 What You Need to Know

Njoroge expressed gratitude to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, describing him as more than a political leader.

“I am especially grateful to the Jubilee Party Leader, H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, who has been more than a leader to me. He has been a mentor, a teacher and a political father,” she said, adding that he had entrusted her with responsibility and exposed her to leadership and governance experiences across Africa and beyond.

She said despite leaving Jubilee, Kenyatta would remain “a valued source of wisdom and counsel.”

Her resignation comes as political realignments gather pace ahead of the 2027 General Election, with Njoroge indicating she is preparing to throw her weight behind the Linda Mwananchi movement, which is in the process of transitioning into a political party.

Njoroge revealed that she has been part of the Linda Mwananchi movement since February and said she had become convinced that it offered the best platform to champion good governance, constitutionalism, accountability and servant leadership.

“Since February this year, I have had the privilege of being part of the Linda Mwananchi movement. Over the months, my conviction has only grown stronger that this movement represents an important platform for advancing the aspirations of our generation,” she said.
