This is how a WhatsApp channel helped win Lula da Silva Brazil’s election.

Dear @LindaMwananchi_ To win this coming election, we MUST run a campaign like nothing has been run before in Kenya. We cannot only rely on the old methods and hope to beat the veterans who have been doing those things for years! First of all, the movement must realize where its greatest strength lies. LMM’s greatest strength comes from being owned by the young people. The hopeful, energetic, enthusiastic young people who are full of ideas. Linda Mwananchi MUST find an effective way to tap into this energy and brilliance. My suggestion is to have a robust volunteer program which invites volunteers to the campaign, vets them, evaluates their abilities and assigns them roles in the campaign purely on a VOLUNTARY basis. The only thing such volunteers would need is recognition and assurance that the movement shall NEVER betray its core ideals. This program if well run, has the potential to provide the largest group of boots on the ground in the entire nation. We have professionals such as medics, lawyers, teachers and others who are willing to volunteer. We also have creatives such as musicians, influencers and tiktokers who have already volunteered their services and are doing good work. They just need to be organized, focused and integrated into the formal structures of the movement. Next, fundraising MUST not just be through the traditional pay bill means. Please let us get creative! Let us have merchandise on sale on the website where people can buy not only for themselves but also for others. Let us have an option for people to donate in kind. You may have someone who owns a car and wants to donate it, let them. Let there be a register of donations and personal acknowledgment to each donor. After that, the manifesto must include all Kenyans, not just a few experts sitting and deciding what to do. Kenyans know the problems they face and they also know the solutions. Engage them more in conversations. Rallies are good but let us have many townhalls. In fact, a town hall can even be virtual. The way we had twitter spaces and TikTok live to discuss Finance Bill and other oppressive laws in 2024. Let us have at least two of these every week with a principal of Linda Mwananchi and preferably H.E Sifuna. These are very low cost but very high impact activities. During those townhalls, we listen and take note of what Kenyans want. These engagements will help the movement understand what to prioritize and to visualize how the first 100 days will look like. All these activities ant structures should culminate in having soldiers all around the 55,000 polling stations. Willing believers who want to change our country for the better. With at least 20 per polling station, our message will reach every nook and cranny on of Kenya. I am willing to be volunteer number 1 to give many more ideas that I have. @edwinsifuna @abbiezuena @genz___baddie @FredahOndu61763 @paulinenjoroge @gwamaee

Shukrani sana kwa majirani wakenya! 🇰🇪 My experience since I had to flee home has been that Kenyans are special - and the reason we will be safe is because of the People of Kenya - please never change your spirit! Mnapenda sana Haki na mko tayari kumpambania mtu hata kama hamumjui! One day I hope I can pay this forward even if I can never repay everyone for their help, hospitality! The day I write my biography it will make more sense! For now we FIGHT ON! Aluta continua!

18-24 remains the weakest voter registration cohort in new voter registration.

Guys, kama hii exact. We need to translate our youth power Into electoral legitimacy. How about we vote out all MPs who voted yes to the finance bill and replace them na mayouths? We'd have a majority in parliament and the powers to impeach traitors! Watchu say? #RutoMustGo
