Published on July 26, 2021, the recent by-elections in Kiambaa and Muguga have left many wondering about the future of young people in Kenya's politics.
With a significant portion of the population being young, it is disheartening to see them underperform in elections. The outcome of these by-elections is a cause for worry, as it may indicate a lack of interest or engagement among young people in the democratic process.
The reasons behind this poor performance are complex and multifaceted. However, it is essential to acknowledge that young people have a crucial role to play in shaping the country's future.
As the saying goes, 'the future belongs to those who prepare for it today.' It is time for young people to take ownership of their participation in politics and work towards creating a better future for themselves and their generation.
