Kenya's Gen Z beat the tax bill. Now we’re coming for the ballot box

On the second anniversary of Kenya's historic Gen Z uprising, the movement's impact is still felt. On 25 June 2024, thousands of protesters breached Parliament to fight a Finance Bill imposing sweeping tax increases. Police opened fire, killing at least 63 people. President Ruto withdrew the bill, but demands expanded to corruption, state violence, and his removal. Two years later, street momentum has waned under repression, but young Kenyans are registering to vote, considering running for office, and aiming to make Ruto a one-term president. Activist Ahmednoor Haji explains how the movement's energy is shifting from streets to ballot boxes.
