Speaking during a church service in Kitengela, Kajiado County, on Sunday, March 9, 2025, former DP Gachagua highlighted the power of numbers in politics, urging the youth to take action beyond social media activism.
He encouraged Gen Zs and Millennials to register as voters, reminding them that while their efforts on social media are valuable, the real impact will come from participating in elections.
“I want to assure you the numbers are good, politics is a game of mathematics. I would be worried if politics were defined differently. Kenyans have told us to bring them a formula na tunaendelea. Na siku ikifika, Gen Zs and millennial wajiandikishe. Register as voters. These young people are our solution. As much as you are doing a good job on the smart phones, the real job is still coming. You must take IDs and register as voters,” Gachagua directed
Gachagua commended the younger generation for their role in demanding accountability from leaders while encouraging them to remain steadfast in their activism despite facing criticism.
He also reiterated the crucial role young people have in shaping the future of Kenya. While appreciating their efforts in advocating for change online, he urged them to take the next step by registering as voters.
“I want to tell the Gen Zs that I love you very much, and whatever you are doing on the online spaces to bring transformative spaces is not enough, you have a date with destiny. You have so much to do. I want to plead with you to register as voters. You are the ones to bring change. Gen Zs and millennials are the ones to determine the destiny of our country. Thank you for your patriotism,” Gachagua stated.
