Alice Kemunto is a trailblazing leader whose rise in politics symbolizes resilience, courage, and the steady breaking of long-standing barriers. She made history as the first woman to be elected Interim Deputy Leader of the Jubilee Party in Kajiado County, a milestone that reshaped the county’s political landscape and inspired a new generation of women and youth to engage in leadership.
Born and raised with a strong sense of community service, Kemunto’s political journey was forged through determination rather than privilege. In a space traditionally dominated by entrenched interests and cultural expectations, she navigated skepticism, resistance, and systemic obstacles with unwavering resolve. Her election was not handed to her; it was earned through grassroots mobilization, consistent party loyalty, and an unshakable belief in inclusive leadership.
Alice Kemunto is widely respected for her people-centred approach to politics. She is a firm believer in dialogue, unity, and development driven by the needs of ordinary citizens. Within the Jubilee Party, she has been a vocal advocate for internal democracy, women’s representation, and youth participation, positioning the party as a vehicle for progressive change at the county level.
Her interim deputy leadership role stands as a powerful statement against gender exclusion in political spaces. By bypassing all odds, Kemunto proved that competence, integrity, and vision can triumph over bias and tradition. Her leadership continues to energize party structures in Kajiado County and strengthen confidence among women aspiring to take up political office.
Alice Kemunto’s story is not just one of personal achievement, but of collective hope a reminder that leadership knows no gender, and that bold voices can rise even in the most challenging environments.
