Political strategist and digital influencer Pauline Njoroge has responded to claims that she was stopped from greeting retired President Uhuru Kenyatta during the Jubilee National Delegates Conference.
The debate was sparked by a video that quickly spread on social media after the event. In the clip, Njoroge is seen walking toward the former president alongside a woman in a black dress.
Moments later, both appear to be halted by security officers as they approach Uhuru. The footage was captured in front of delegates and journalists, drawing mixed interpretations online.
Some social media users suggested the strategist had been blocked from meeting the former head of state. Others argued the clip lacked context and may have been misinterpreted.
Njoroge has since addressed the matter, making it clear that she was not prevented from greeting Uhuru. According to her, the circulating video did not reflect the full sequence of events. She explained that despite the brief pause, she eventually had her moment with the retired leader.
One of her followers even teased her about the incident, asking whether she had been chased away. In a firm response, Njoroge dismissed the claim, replying that no such thing had happened.
The incident comes at a time when the Jubilee Party is seeking to reposition itself on the political stage. Njoroge, a prominent voice within the party, has been actively involved in its communication strategy and public messaging.
While the viral video stirred conversations online, Njoroge’s response appears aimed at settling the matter and countering any misleading narratives. For her, the incident was a minor distraction amid her ongoing political work.
