See you at the Ballot: Charisma challenges youth to show up and vote in 2027
Renowned Kenyan musician and songwriter Fidel Eli Shammah Omusula, famously known as Charisma, has issued a passionate call to action for young voters ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a video shared on his official social media accounts on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Charisma, emphasising the power of the ballot, urged citizens, particularly the youth, to ensure they are registered and to actively participate in shaping the country’s future.

“Have you registered as a voter? 2027 is here, and the choice is yours; you can decide these people are not going to destroy our country anymore, or you can decide to stay home and sleep and go through another five years of this,” Charisma said.
The artiste stressed the importance of preparation ahead of the polls, reminding citizens to secure their voter cards and make their voices count.
“Get your voter’s card now, make sure you are registered, and see you at the ballot,” he added.
Additionally, Charisma noted that this message would be one of his most consistent reminders leading up to the elections, highlighting that participation is key to the country’s progress.
“The 2027 elections are upon us. Your vote, your choice, this will be one of my most consistent messages from now henceforth. Register as voters and show up to vote,” Charisma noted.
Youths’ voice in 2027
Charisma’s call comes days after renowned hip-hop artiste and entrepreneur Henry Ohanga, widely known as Octopizzo, urged youth to register as voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Inspired by the recently concluded elections in Nepal, where rapper-turned-politician Balen Shah emerged victorious, Octopizzo shared a statement on his official X account on Sunday, March 8, 2026, highlighting the power of civic participation.
He added that the Gen Z revolution movement may have begun in Kenya, but its spirit is now echoing far beyond our borders.
Octopizzo further noted that citizens in Nepal are channelling that same energy into real change and demonstrating how active participation can shape democratic outcomes in real time.
“Chukueni Kura Bana Jo! The movement may have begun in Kenya, but its spirit is now echoing far beyond our borders,” Octopizzo stated.
Today, we are witnessing its impact in Nepal, where citizens are turning that same energy into real change in real time. This is the power of people when they choose to participate, organise, and vote. Democracy moves when citizens move.”
