A new political party, “47 Voices of Kenya Congress Party,” has emerged in Kenya, aiming to provide an alternative political platform for young leaders across all 47 communities in the country.
The party, operating under the slogan “Sauti Kila Mahali” (Voice Everywhere), recently received its provisional certificate from the Registrar of Political Parties, Ann Nderitu, after a two-year registration journey.
Wycliffe Kamanda, the party’s chairman and acting party leader, expressed gratitude to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) for their guidance throughout the registration process.

He emphasized that the party’s formation stems from a desire to offer Kenyans a platform where their ideologies and views can be freely expressed, unlike in existing parties.
Kamanda stated the party has no immediate intentions of merging or affiliating with other political factions. Instead, their focus will be on a nationwide recruitment drive.
He highlighted the party’s inclusive nature, asserting that it “touches everybody, every community and it will be in every corner of this nation,” uniting all 47 counties.
Jibril Manyasa, the party’s secretary-general, underscored the significance of the party being founded by young leaders, stating it’s a first for Kenya under its current laws.
He affirmed that the 47 Voices of Kenya Congress Party will champion “real change,” with its core values anchored in integrity, innovation, and building a political movement that listens and trusts in leadership. Manyasa urged both young and old citizens to join the party.
Florence Wanjiku, the head of party communications, confirmed that the party is built on clear and visionary leadership.
She announced that the recruitment process will officially begin on July 16th across the country. Wanjiku described the party as a “coalition of patriots young and old, rural and urban, professional and everyday citizens, united in shared believes,” and extended an invitation to the general public to engage with them in their mission to provide a platform for Kenyans to transform the country.
