Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! has launched the Angaza Kura digital platform to give Kenyans a greater role in identifying alternative leaders and shaping leadership conversations ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The platform was unveiled on November 11, 2026, at Sarova Stanley in Nairobi during an event themed “Reimagining Leadership, Reclaiming Citizen Agency”.
The initiative seeks to shift political discussions beyond party affiliations, popularity and campaign promises to focus on integrity, competence, values and accountability among individuals seeking public office.
Through Angaza Kura, citizens can identify and nominate leaders they believe have the ability to offer alternative leadership. The platform also provides an opportunity for Kenyans to share their electoral experiences and contribute to discussions on electoral accountability.
Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! Chief Executive Officer Dr Kawive Wambua said the campaign seeks to strengthen citizen participation in determining the country’s leadership direction and the standards expected of public officials.
The initiative challenges the influence of political elites, established political parties and campaign machinery in determining leadership choices, arguing that citizens should have a stronger voice in deciding who represents them.
It also encourages Kenyans to critically examine existing leadership structures, identify the qualities they expect from public officials and actively participate in proposing alternative leaders.
The launch brought together representatives from civil society organisations, the media, religious institutions, citizens and other stakeholders to discuss alternative leadership and the importance of public participation in strengthening democracy.
According to the organisation, meaningful democratic change requires informed and engaged citizens who take responsibility for the leadership choices they make.
The campaign comes as political conversations and preparations gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election, with questions emerging about accountability, public trust and the quality of leadership needed to address citizens’ aspirations.
Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! is now calling on Kenyans to participate in the initiative by visiting inuka.angazakura.org, nominating individuals they believe can provide alternative leadership and contributing their views on the country’s democratic future.
The organisation says the campaign aims to restore citizens’ voices in leadership discussions and encourage a more intentional approach to choosing public leaders.
