Comedian and activist Eric Omondi has unveiled a creative initiative aimed at increasing voter registration ahead of the 2027 General Election, proposing a nationwide concert campaign to mobilise young people.
The idea is part of the growing “Tuko Kadi” movement, a youth-driven campaign encouraging eligible Kenyans, especially first-time voters, to register in large numbers. The initiative has gained traction online, with youth leaders such as Allan Ademba championing innovative ways to reach the Gen Z population.
Omondi announced that the planned concert will feature top Kenyan musicians and comedians, but with a unique twist—entry will only be granted to individuals who present a valid voter’s card. The move is intended to directly incentivise registration by linking civic participation with entertainment.
According to the comedian, the event is scheduled for May 1 and is expected to draw large crowds, particularly among young people who are increasingly engaging in political conversations through social media. He has also been promoting the hashtag #RegisterNaMbogi, which has quickly gained popularity as part of the mobilisation effort.
Omondi emphasised that the concert is not just about entertainment but about encouraging civic responsibility and ensuring that more Kenyans take part in shaping the country’s future through voting. He called on fellow artistes and content creators to support the initiative, framing it as a collective movement within the creative industry.
Reports indicate that the concept could be expanded beyond a single event, with plans to organise similar concerts in different counties across the country. The goal is to reach a wider audience and sustain momentum in the voter registration drive.
