A section of Kenyan youths under the Bunge la Mwananchi umbrella has announced plans to participate in the 2027 general election by fielding a presidential candidate.
Speaking during a gathering in Nairobi, the group’s leader, Francis Awino, stated that their new political movement, named “One Tribe, One Nation,” aims to unite Kenyans beyond tribal lines and bring in a new era of leadership led by the youth.
Awino emphasized that young people have been sidelined for too long. He said they are always used by politicians during campaigns but are forgotten once leaders take office. This time, he added, the youth will not just support — they will lead.
The group plans to rally support from across the country and is already laying the foundation for a national movement. Their main goal is to challenge the traditional power structure that has long been dominated by older political figures.
The “One Tribe, One Nation” slogan represents their message of unity and inclusion. Awino and his team say they want to create a government that reflects the interests of ordinary Kenyans, regardless of ethnicity, background, or status.
So far, the movement has started engaging local communities, especially in urban centers, and is mobilizing young voters. The group says they will announce their preferred presidential candidate in the coming months after consultations with supporters across the country.
With rising frustration among the youth over unemployment, corruption, and poor leadership, the group believes the time for change is now.
Will this youth-led movement be able to challenge the big political names in 2027.
