Monday, February 16,
2026 - Veteran Kenyan media personality, Caroline Mutoko, has weighed in on
Kenya’s shifting political scene following Sunday’s massive Kitengela rally
that drew thousands in support of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and his Linda
Mwanchi Movement.
In a bold statement shared on her Facebook page on Monday,
February 16th, 2026, Mutoko cautioned Gen Zs that their hype and
loyalty to Sifuna will mean little if they fail to register as voters.
She stressed that true impact lies not in trending hashtags
or electrifying rallies, but in showing up at the ballot box.
“The turnout, the hype and the support of ‘Sifunafied’ are
great, but unless you register as a voter and vote, it’s just noise and a good
time,” she wrote.
Sifuna, alongside Babu Owino and James Orengo, shook the
political landscape with the Kitengela rally on February 15th, 2026.
The event, largely organized by Gen Zs, was vibrant and
youthful, drawing a “sea of humanity” compared to the parallel Tononoka rally
in Mombasa, which struggled to attract crowds.
Suba South MP, Caroli Omondi, praised the youth-led
mobilization, expressing confidence that Gen Zs could marshal up to 16 million
votes to tilt the scales in the 2027 elections.
“Kitengela was a Gen Z rally. They organised it themselves;
we were just guests,” he remarked.
