Hundreds of youth gathered in Nairobi under the banner of the ‘Niko Kadi Na Ruto’ movement, staging a show of solidarity and support for President William Ruto. The youth procession culminated at Anniversary Towers, where speakers rallied young Kenyans to back the government’s development agenda and register as voters. The gathering is part of a broader youth-driven civic mobilisation campaign encouraging political participation through the popular “Niko Kadi” slogan. “The ‘Tuko Kadi’ initiative is about ensuring young people are registered, informed and ready to participate in the democratic process,” Galgalo said. The phrase, derived from Sheng slang meaning “I have a card,” signifies voter registration and has become a badge of civic engagement among the youth.
