Dr. Amos Katana, a 25-year-old independent candidate, is campaigning for the Magarini by-election on foot and using boda bodas due to a lack of funds. Born into poverty, he aims to address long-standing development issues in the constituency including healthcare, water shortages, and unemployment.

• Dr. Amos Katana, 25, is the youngest candidate running for the Magarini by-election.
• He campaigns on foot or by boda boda, contrasting with other candidates who have "deep pockets."
• Katana's motivation stems from his mother giving birth to him alone on the roadside and his own experience of studying on school grounds, driving him to improve local healthcare and education.
• He pursued medicine to "fix the causes" of health issues like high blood pressure, rather than just treating symptoms, despite graduating with a degree in clinical medicine from JKUAT in June 2025.
• His slogan is "The future is now," and he encourages Gen Zs to register and vote to "change the system."
