Former Jubilee Party Deputy Organizing Secretary Pauline Njoroge has announced her resignation from the party, bringing to an end her 14-year political journey within the Jubilee fold.
In a statement issued on Tuesday July 21, Njoroge said she had resigned from the Jubilee Party National Executive Committee (NEC), where she served as Deputy Organizing Secretary, as well as her membership in the party, effective immediately.
“For the last fourteen years, I have walked an incredible political journey. Today, however, I believe the time has come to embrace a new chapter. I therefore wish to announce my resignation from the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Jubilee Party, where I have served as Deputy Organizing Secretary, and as a member of the Jubilee Party, effective today,” Njoroge said.
She reflected on her political journey, which began in 2012 when she joined The National Alliance (TNA) as a Communications Manager before the party merged with the United Republican Party (URP) to form Jubilee.
Njoroge expressed gratitude for the experience, saying her years in Jubilee shaped her political understanding, communication skills and approach to public service.
She particularly acknowledged former President Uhuru Kenyatta, describing him as a mentor and political father who gave her opportunities to grow within Kenya’s political landscape and beyond.
“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. He believed in me, entrusted me with responsibility and invested in my growth,” she said.
Njoroge said her decision to leave Jubilee was influenced by her growing commitment to the Linda Mwananchi movement, which she described as a platform focused on good governance, constitutionalism, accountability and people-centred leadership.
She said she had been part of the movement since February and had become convinced that it aligned with the broader WANTAM push for national renewal.
“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,” said Njoroge.
“It is for this reason that I have made the difficult but deeply considered decision to dedicate myself fully to this cause,” she added.
She said she was leaving Jubilee with gratitude, friendships and lessons gained over the years, while beginning what she termed a new chapter in her political journey.
“I step into it with optimism, renewed purpose and an unwavering belief that Kenya deserves leadership that listens, unites and puts citizens first,” she said.
