A teenager has made history in Kenya by winning a county assembly seat.

Nineteen-year-old Kibiwott Munge, who vied on a URP ticket, won the Lembus Perkera ward in Baringo with 3,333 votes, becoming the youngest Kenyan to clinch a political seat in an election.

There were shouts of joy when the former Tenges Boys High student was announced winner in Eldama Ravine town on Monday night.

“This is a victory for young people and a clear indication they have what it takes to lead this country,” said Mr Munge in his acceptance speech.

Last year, 19-year-old Proscovia Alengot Oromait was elected to the Ugandan Parliament, making her the youngest and first teenage politician in Africa.

Mr Munge thanked his parents for giving him their blessings. “I also thank my friend Njoroge who lent me his motorbike to campaign,” he said.

The young leader said he honed his political skills by reading Taifa Leo.

He said he would focus on empowering the youth to earn a decent living.

Pengine uko sahihi, lakini kama "maturity" ndio sifa pekee ya kuingia madarakani na kuwatumikia watu, ninashangazwa na hivi "vizee vinavyokufia madarakani" vikiwa havijui chochote zaidi ya ufisadi.

uko sahihi pia...lakini mtoto anapochaguliwa kama mbinge ama diwani haimake sense...either hasomi na kama anasoma basi wanaspoil elimu yake kwa kuchukua muda wake....ataitumikia jamii au atasoma??na kama hajasoma/hasomi inaindicate nini..???
