Gachagua engages TikTokers at Wamunyoro

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua held an engagement session with TikTok content creators on Friday afternoon at his Wamunyoro residence.

In a statement, he said the session was aimed at urging young people to actively participate in voter registration ahead of the 2027 general elections.

"This afternoon at Wamunyoro Residence, I had the privilege of engaging with some incredible TikTokers. I asked them to take charge of mobilising voter registration through the NIKO KADI initiative," he said.

Gachagua emphasised the critical role of youth in shaping Kenya’s political future.

He encouraged them to leverage their platforms and creativity to mobilise young voters through the “NIKO KADI” initiative, a campaign aimed at registering many young Kenyans.

"The youth vote remains a powerful force in shaping our future, especially with the 10th August 2027 Liberation Point approaching," the ex-DP stated.

Gachagua also praised the youth for what he described as their resilience and commitment in shaping the future of Kenya through active civic participation. He called on all Kenyans to exercise their role in strengthening democracy by registering to vote and actively participating in the electoral process.

“Young people have shown that they are incorruptible and steadfast—they cannot be swayed. This vote counts. And it will count. I call on all Kenyans to register to vote and be part of building a better Kenya. Your voice matters!” he said.

The meeting came a day after the leader brought Nyeri Town to a standstill by joining a group of youths during the Niko Kadi campaign, Nyeri chapter.

The Democracy for Citizens (DCP) leader, accompanied by his spouse, Reverend Dorcas Gachagua, and their sons, Keith and Kelvin, painted Nyeri Town in DCP’s white and green colours as they marched to the Nyeri Town Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) offices.

There, he verified his voter registration details and updated his biometrics.

After completing the process at the IEBC offices, Gachagua addressed the media on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

He said the purpose of his action was to support Gen Zs in sustaining their push for good governance, a movement that began in 2024, and to channel it effectively through the ballot.

He further urged youths to turn out in large numbers and register as voters.

The 'Tuko Kadi' Gen-Z movement has become a rallying call for young Kenyans to obtain their voter registration cards.

The trend, initiated by Ademba Allans, a young journalism student, became an online sensation, encouraging youths to register as voters ahead of the 2027 elections and be part of shifting the nation's governance.

Young citizens have since turned up in large numbers to various polling stations.
