NAIROBI, Kenya Apr 16 \u2013 A new women-led political movement backing President William Ruto\u2019s re-election bid has been launched in Nairobi, signalling early grassroots mobilisation ahead of future elections.<\/p>\n
Dubbed the Two Term Brigade, the initiative brings together young mothers from all 85 wards in the capital, with a mission to popularise the government\u2019s agenda and rally support for a second term.<\/p>\n
Leaders of the movement said they plan to traverse Nairobi and eventually other regions, engaging communities and highlighting what they describe as key achievements of the Kenya Kwanza administration.<\/p>\n
Speaking after a meeting with Hassan Omar, the organisers said government progress has been overshadowed by opposition criticism, which they termed as \u201cnoise.\u201d<\/p>\n
They argued that their campaign will focus on countering misinformation and ensuring wananchi understand the administration\u2019s policies and impact.<\/p>\n
The group, composed of women from diverse communities, said it has organised itself into regional clusters to expand its outreach beyond Nairobi.<\/p>\n
They intend to focus on areas where they believe the president\u2019s message has not been effectively communicated, positioning themselves as grassroots ambassadors of the government\u2019s development agenda.<\/p>\n
The brigade also used the platform to call for a shift away from ethnic-based politics, urging Kenyans to embrace issue-based leadership.<\/p>\n
They said the current political climate presents an opportunity to move beyond tribal alignments and focus on national unity and development.<\/p>\n
Under the patronage of Liz Waithera, the movement announced plans to roll out a nationwide recruitment campaign aimed at expanding its base.<\/p>\n
Members of the group said many of them have directly benefited from government programs, and view their support as evidence of the administration\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n
They maintained that their personal experiences will form a key part of their messaging as they seek to build momentum for the president\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
