The Linda Mwananchi Movement has appointed Pauline Njoroge as the interim head of communication in its Presidential Campaign Secretariat as the outfit advances its rebranding and organisational restructuring.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 13, the movement
said its leadership had agreed on the appointments during a meeting held on
Monday to review progress in the rebranding process and the establishment of
the party's structures.
“Pauline brings a wealth of experience in political and
strategic communication, having previously worked on presidential campaigns,
and with various governmental institutions and intergovernmental organizations,”
said the outfit in the statement.
The leadership also appointed Fredah Onduso, Abigael Gikonyo
and Charity Waweru to the Digital, Media and Publicity Team under the
Communication Department.
The appointments mark part of the movement's ongoing efforts
to establish its organisational and campaign structures.
The movement said further appointments would be announced in
due course.
Njoroge announced her exit from the Jubilee Party on July
21, 2026 to join the young political faction, Linda Mwananchi.
Njoroge, who was appointed to Jubilee party's National
Executive Council (NEC) board in May 2023, said in a statement then that the
move was prompted by her conviction to support Linda Mwananchi's core goals of
agitating for a change in leadership that is anchored in integrity and
constitutionalism.
"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: a Kenya founded on good
governance, the rule of law, constitutionalism, accountability and servant leadership,"
she said.
She said that the
Linda Mwananchi faction, pioneered by top political mavens among them Nairobi
Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo and Embakasi East MP Babu
Owino, is the conduit of the change that Kenya requires and she will remain
committed to the same course.
"As one chapter closes, another
begins. I step into it with optimism, renewed purpose and an unwavering belief
that Kenya deserves leadership that listens, unites and puts citizens
first," she noted.
The communication strategist has
worked with Jubilee Party leader and former President Uhuru Kenyatta since 2012
when the retired Head of State led The National Alliance (TNA) party.
TNA later merged with President
William Ruto's United Republican Party (URP) to form Jubilee.
She thanked Kenyatta
for tutoring her on governance and leadership, stating that her sharpened
expertise will help her advance her next political aspirations.
"Beyond the opportunities he
gave me here at home, he also exposed me to leadership and governance
experiences across Africa and internationally, broadening both my perspective
and my understanding of public service," she noted.
"For someone deeply passionate
about politics and strategic communications, these fourteen years have been
nothing short of transformational."
