As Kenya gears up for the 2027 election, Gen Z's electoral dilemma persists. The challenge lies in translating their digital activism and street protests into tangible political power that can drive meaningful economic change and empower the next generation.

Closing Insight:

Gen Z's political awakening is not just a momentary trend but a transformative force that is reshaping the socio-economic landscape of Kenya, paving the way for a more inclusive and progressive future.
