A politician just called out Gen Z for slacking on voter registration. Roots Party leader George Wajackoyah criticized the demographic's fading momentum, noting their powerful protests once forced government action. He argued their legitimacy requires channeling that energy into political participation via the ballot box. Wajackoyah stressed real change depends on votes, not just street demonstrations.
The former presidential candidate revealed a specific policy goal for any future administration. He pledged to mandate voter registration by law, linking it directly to obtaining national IDs and driving licenses. His proposed system would make these documents non-functional unless the holder is also a registered voter.
Wajackoyah identified two key groups necessary for potential electoral success. He emphasized the importance of securing support from young voters and the diaspora community in challenging the current presidency. His comments framed voter registration as the essential next step for transformative political action.
