Kenya's upcoming 2027 elections are poised to be decided by a burgeoning youth vote, challenging traditional ethnic-based political strategies.

• Over 800,000 new voters have been registered, largely driven by young people mobilized through campaigns like Niko Kadi.
• The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is overseeing the registration drive.
• This generational shift emphasizes issues like jobs and governance over historical ethnic loyalties.
