Activist Boniface Mwangi has urged Kenyans to take up their voter cards, calling them the most powerful tool to bring about change in the country.

“Kenya is on the brink of change. We’re about to change our country, and every single person in this country needs a weapon. Unafaa kuwa na silaha. Na silaha, ni kura,” he said.
Mwangi emphasised that meaningful change cannot happen without participation in elections, adding that Kenyans must take charge of their future through the ballot.
“So I’m here to tell you that you must register to vote. We cannot change this country without a voter’s card,” he said.
Calls for a ballot revolution
Mwangi said the only way to fix the country is through what he called a “ballot revolution.” He described it as a peaceful and powerful movement where people use their votes to hold leaders accountable and reject corruption and poor governance.
“And the only way to fix our country is through a ballot revolution. They fear that. Their money cannot save them. We are burying billionaires. Their violence cannot save them from the wrath of the youth,” he said.
The activist challenged young people to see their votes as weapons of transformation, insisting that while the country’s youth may not match the powerful in wealth or violence, they have the power of intellect and democracy on their side.

“Hawa wasee wanatushinda violence, because we are peaceful people. Wanatushinda na hate because we are loving people. But hawawezi kutushinda akili na kura,” Mwangi stated.
Mwangi’s message came as a rallying call for political awareness and voter registration, particularly among young Kenyans who make up the largest portion of the population. He urged them not to underestimate the value of their vote, saying it is the foundation of lasting change.
His remarks reflected a growing call for civic responsibility and peaceful participation in shaping Kenya’s future. Describing the voter’s card as a weapon shows Mwangi’s reminder to Kenyans that true power lies not in protest or violence, but in their collective decision at the ballot box.
