"People should never underestimate the power of the youth or assume they are incapable of making a difference. Young people are informed and will not simply vote based on words. We want our voices heard through the ballot, not violence. Trust me, the 2027 elections will be very different."- Salim Kalime, Member, East Africa Youth Parliament #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"I believe the Finance Bill protests exposed a huge generational gap between young Kenyans and the political class. The youth want fresh faces and a new direction instead of repeatedly electing the same leaders. People in power may have resources and political influence, but young people are determined to bring change. We need new blood in politics, and leaders must show how their development projects are improving the lives of ordinary Kenyans."- Floyd Ouma Okello, Lawyer, Mediator, Secretary General of Media Lawyers Association of Kenya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"Sifuna’s ‘Niko Kadi’ campaign reportedly registered only 800,000 out of a possible 6.5 million voters. With IEBC targeting 6.5 million new voters ahead of the 2027 elections, and the youth considered Sifuna’s support base, this means the trend was bigger than the reality. Does this suggest the online hype was bigger than the actual numbers? With just 280 days to the elections, how will the remaining 5.7 million potential voters be registered in less than 300 days?" - Naipamei Kaikai, National Coordinator, YR27 #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"It's the same young people supporting different political leaders, so what makes Sifuna different? Personally, he has not sold me his manifesto. I don't know what he stands for beyond the promises already outlined in the Constitution, which any other leader can implement. It's not about his age; it's about what makes him different from the others." - Wanjiku Kagechu, MCA Aspirant, Ndeiya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"I believe Sifuna was preparing for 2032 by introducing himself to Kenyans beyond ODM strongholds. However, the overwhelming reception has brought 2027 into the conversation. He can use the next election to test his nationwide support and gain campaign experience ahead of 2032." - Naipamei Kaikai, National Coordinator, YR27 #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"Linda Mwananchi could either become a political party or a coalition bringing together different parties. The goal is to consolidate support bases, build numbers and present a united front at the negotiating table." - Floyd Ouma Okello, Lawyer, Mediator, Secretary General of Media Lawyers Association of Kenya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"I feel there is something fresh in the air, especially with young people getting involved in politics. I will always stand with the youth because they need platforms where they can speak, listen and be heard. A large number of young people are suffering, and they deserve a voice. I am excited to see different perspectives emerging, and I welcome this move. I have always believed in Edwin Sifuna, even though I do not belong to his party." - Salim Kalime, Member, East Africa Youth Parliament #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

Linda Mwananchi Movement To Party "Personally, I don’t feel any impact from the Linda Mwananchi Party, but I appreciate what they are doing and wish them well. It is good to see young people getting involved in politics, but what matters most is the ideology and how they engage in the political space. Being in a different political party (UDA) does not make me a bad person, just as being in another party does not make you a better person. We should respect each other’s political choices." - Wanjiku Kagechu, MCA Aspirant, Ndeiya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"I believe the gender rule needs revision to clearly address its loopholes. Qualified men and women should compete on equal terms, and gender balance should be a collective responsibility involving leaders, communities and citizens." - Naipamei Kaikai, National Coordinator, YR27 #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"President Ruto is held captive by politics and regional kingmakers who influence government appointments through power-sharing. These decisions remain male-dominated, leaving women out. As we approach another election, the two-thirds gender rule remains a mirage." - Floyd Ouma Okello, Lawyer, Mediator, Secretary General of Media Lawyers Association of Kenya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"President Ruto faces pressure from communities and advisers and does not act alone. He promised gender balance, even pledging opposite-gender running mates, but appears to be paying lip service to the Constitution." - Salim Kalime, Member, East Africa Youth Parliament #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"Communities keep nominating men for CS and PS positions, making it difficult for the President to achieve gender balance. Ruto promised 50% of Cabinet positions for women, but even a third remains a challenge. The President is being held captive by communities that fail to nominate women." - Naipamei Kaikai, National Coordinator, YR27 #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"Violence and goonism make politics unsafe for women. I was at a political engagement in Kiambu where violence erupted, and I had to run for my life. The experience even made me question my decision to remain in politics." - Wanjiku Kagechu, MCA Aspirant, Ndeiya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"The Constitution has provided safeguards to ensure gender balance. The problem is politics, which has disadvantaged women. We cannot remove these laws; we must keep pressuring the system until we achieve gender equality." - Floyd Ouma Okello, Lawyer, Mediator, Secretary General of Media Lawyers Association of Kenya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

"I think if the President wants to do it, then he will do it because he has all the powers to do it. In politics, there is so much that happens behind the curtains. I think that is what is causing the delay because everyone is expecting to see what the President promised during the campaigns. Some things are happening, while others are not, and partly, some are propelled by political goodwill."- Salim Kalime, Member, East Africa Youth Parliament #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli

The Gender Rule Headache "As a woman in politics, I think the President should consider the two-thirds gender rule. It’s not that there are no capable women to fill these positions. Women have risen in power, and there has to be an answer to this problem." - Wanjiku Kagechu, MCA Aspirant, Ndeiya #TV47Breakfast #FeelGoodFriday @Fredindimuli
