Digital Communication Strategist Pauline Njoroge has resigned from the Jubilee Party after 14 years, ending her tenure as the party's deputy organising secretary and member of its National Executive Committee (NEC).
In a statement on Tuesday, Njoroge said her resignation takes effect immediately, describing the move as the beginning of a new chapter in her political journey.
Njoroge traced her political journey to 2012 when she joined The National Alliance (TNA) as Communications Manager before the party merged with the United Republican Party (URP) to form the Jubilee Party.
She said serving in the party over the past 14 years had been transformative, giving her an opportunity to contribute during one of Kenya's most defining political periods.
"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," she said.
"These fourteen years have been nothing short of transformational. They have shaped my thinking, sharpened my craft and given me the privilege of serving during one of the most defining political periods in our country's history," she said.
Njoroge also paid tribute to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, thanking him for mentoring her throughout her political career.
She said that Uhuru had exposed her to leadership and governance experiences across Africa and internationally, broadening her understanding of public service.
"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.
Despite leaving the party, Njoroge said she would continue to value the former president's guidance.
Njoroge revealed that she has been part of the Linda Mwananchi movement since February and said she now intends to dedicate herself fully to the initiative.
According to her, the movement aligns with her belief in good governance, the rule of law, constitutionalism, accountability and servant leadership.
She also said her decision is consistent with the push for national renewal rooted in integrity, constitutionalism and people-centred leadership.
"It is for this reason that I have made the difficult but deeply considered decision to dedicate myself fully to this cause," she said.
As she exits Jubilee, Njoroge said she leaves with gratitude, lasting friendships and respect for the party and its leadership.
She described Linda Mwananchi as more than a political movement, saying it seeks to amplify the voices of ordinary Kenyans, defend constitutionalism and human rights, and promote leadership founded on service, accountability and respect for the dignity of every citizen.
