Allan Ademba reports massive turnout as ‘Tuko Kadi’ campaign outpaces weekly voter goals

Niko Kadi movement leader Allan Ademba is sounding confident about the momentum of the ongoing voter registration push, saying the numbers on the ground are already beating expectations.
In an update shared on his X account on Friday, April 3, 2026, Ademba pointed to what he described as an energetic response from young people and first-time voters, especially in Nairobi and Kakamega. According to him, the turnout is not just steady, it is moving faster than anyone had planned for.
Nairobi, which had set a modest weekly target of 9,000 new voters, has already crossed 40,000 registrations in just three days.
“Tuko Kadi is working in Nairobi had a target of 9k new registered voters in a week. They are currently at 40k in 3 days. Kakamega had a target of 3K in a week; they are currently at 10 K in 3 days,” Ademba stated.
He recently urged young Kenyans to go beyond just registering as voters and make sure they actually turn up to vote in the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on a local radio station on Wednesday, Ademba said the movement is focusing on civic, voter and political education, not just getting people to register for voter cards.
He said he hopes the movement’s growing support on social media and at the grassroots will turn into 15 million votes in the August 2027 elections.
“Tuko Kadi is not a movement that is going to end at people registering to vote… what we are looking for is 15 million young Kenyans at the ballot going to vote,” Ademba said.
Non-political
Allan Ademba says the fast-growing Niko Kadi movement is strictly non-political, despite attracting national attention and interest from politicians.
Speaking in a radio interview on April 1, 2026, he explained that the initiative started casually while helping a friend register as a voter, before quickly gaining momentum online, especially on TikTok and X. Regular updates on registration numbers helped it go viral, drawing mainstream media attention and turning it into a nationwide conversation.
Ademba noted that the movement is now driven by young Kenyans collectively, not by any single individual. Its main goal is to tackle voter apathy among youth, which he believes can only be achieved by keeping the initiative free from political influence.
He warned that involvement by politicians could undermine its authenticity, insisting the movement should remain organic and youth-led.
