Nairobi News reported that environmental advocate Anita Soina had been cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to contest for the Kajiado North constituency seat in the August 9 polls.
At just 22 years old, Soina confirmed the news on her social media platforms, expressing her gratitude to her supporters.
"I don't take this chance for granted. I give thanks to God, my able party leader of the Green Thinking Action Party (GTAP), and Kajiado North residents," she explained.
As a young climate change activist, Soina stated that GTAP is the political party that she felt drawn to because the agenda of the party is in line with what she fights for and would like to continue fighting for as a leader.
"GTAP because being an environmentalist means thinking green agendas and GTAP is the party because it is one that has clearly shown and indicated the agenda they have for the environment," she said.
