Young Kenyans’ voting decisions in the 2027 General Election will be shaped by social media, political loyalty and leaders’ track records, Daystar University President Faith Beatrice says. She says the 2024 protests heightened youth awareness of how government decisions affect daily lives, prompting greater interest in policies, leadership and voter registration. Beatrice urged student leaders to champion youth interests through advocacy for opportunities, empowerment initiatives and policies addressing their needs beyond elections.
