A group of young leaders has officially launched a new political party, the Forty Seven Voices of Kenya Congress Party popularly known as the Voices Party. The party, whose slogan is “Sauti Kila Mahali” (A Voice Everywhere), has received its provisional registration, marking a significant milestone in youth-led political transformation.
Speaking during the launch on Tuesday, the party’s Secretary General Jibril Manyasa described the event as historic, noting that “this is the first political party in Kenya’s history to be founded, led, and driven entirely by young people.” He added that the registration represents not just the formation of a party, but the birth of a people-centred movement grounded in integrity, innovation, and inclusion.
The Voices Party aims to serve as a platform for all Kenyans especially the youth to participate meaningfully in democratic processes and drive real change. Its symbol, a silver carillon bell, represents unity, clarity, and the urgency needed in addressing pressing national challenges.
“Our party is built to listen, to serve, and to restore public trust in leadership,” said Manyasa. “We want to end the era of empty political rhetoric and usher in a future of real action.”
Though led by youth, the party seeks to attract support across all demographics urban and rural, professional and informal sectors alike. The goal is to provide a political alternative that prioritises values over personalities and creates space for every Kenyan to shape their own future.
With the 2027 general elections on the horizon, the Voices Party hopes to inspire broader civic engagement. Manyasa called on civil society, the media, and the general public to join the national conversation and actively contribute to the country’s transformation.
“Our mission is to inspire, equip, and facilitate Kenyans to transform not only their own lives but also the future of their children,” he concluded.
The emergence of the Voices Party signals a growing appetite for new leadership approaches, with Kenya’s youth now taking centre stage in the political arena.
