MP Mukunji Rallies Youth to Register as Voters, says 2027 will be a Revolution

He said the youth, who form the majority of the country’s population, must take charge of their destiny through the ballot.

Speaking at Manyatta Technical and Vocational College in Mbukori, Kithimu Ward, Mukunji described voter registration as the first and most important step towards meaningful change stating that a revolution can only be realized through the ballot.

He noted that too many young people often complain about leadership yet fail to register as voters or turn up to cast their ballots during elections.

According to the legislator, registering as voters will give the youth power to elect leaders who are accountable, visionary, and independent of undue influence from the Executive.

Mukunji stressed that a revolution through the ballot cannot happen without the numbers, and the numbers lie with the youth.

"Young people took to the streets to push for good governance and leadership and because the IEBC has opened it's doors for voter registration,it's now time for the young people to get registered and install leadership they want," said Mukunji.

He urged them not to sit back but to see voter registration as a responsibility that determines the kind of leadership the country will have.

The MP observed that by actively registering and voting, young people could change the political narrative in 2027 and beyond.

He said Kenya needed leaders who are not controlled by the Executive but are ready to represent the people’s voice in Parliament.

Mukunji pointed out that if the youth registered and voted in large numbers, they could send home leaders who had failed and replace them with those committed to service.

He added that voter registration was not just a civic duty but also a demonstration of patriotism and a belief in democracy.
