Nyeri senatorial aspirant Nick Mararo is pushing a youth-led voter registration campaign, urging young people to take part in shaping leadership and future decisions.
Nyeri is witnessing a growing wave of political mobilisation as senatorial aspirant Nick Mararo steps up efforts to register more young voters across the county.
Mararo has been engaging youth at the grassroots, where turnout has traditionally been low, but where interest in leadership and governance is steadily rising. His message is clear and consistent. Young people must move from the sidelines and take part in decisions that affect their lives.
“Inspired by the enthusiasm of vibrant young people I interact with in Nyeri. Their energy and determination to have a say in their future and bring power back to the people reflects a generation tired of being on the sidelines,” Mararo said.
His campaign is focusing not just on registration but also on civic education. He argues that many young people have the numbers but lack the information needed to fully participate in elections.
“I will continue to push for voter registration and grassroots civic education so that more young people understand their power and take part in shaping decisions that affect them,” he added.
Across Nyeri, the response from the youth has been noticeable. From small gatherings to informal meet ups, discussions around voter registration and participation are gaining momentum. Many see this as a chance to influence leadership directly rather than complain from the outside.
Mararo’s slogan “Tuko Kadi” is also catching on, especially among first time voters. It reflects readiness and a sense of belonging in the political process.
Political observers say early mobilisation could play a key role in the coming senate race. Youth form a significant voting bloc, and any candidate who successfully engages them could gain a strong advantage.
For now, Mararo is keeping the focus on one thing. Registration.
Step forward. Register. Participate. Tuko Kadi.
