Speaking after a high-level consultative meeting with the ODM leadership at the party headquarters in Nairobi, Oundo said Kenya's political future depends on peaceful engagement and meaningful youth participation.

"One of the things am requesting the young people is that we avoid this character we are developing to harass the aspirants" said Oundo.

The meeting focused on governance, youth empowerment, economic transformation, strategic partnerships and national development.

Oundo urged political leaders and supporters to reject violence and ensure that campaigns remain peaceful, saying young people should be agents of positive change rather than instruments of chaos.



He also called on members and supporters to work together to strengthen the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), saying a united party is key to advancing its development agenda and delivering better leadership for Kenyans.

"We encourage other people to join ODM party and strengthen it" Oundo added.

The youthful leader reaffirmed his commitment to promoting inclusive leadership, empowering young people and supporting initiatives that drive sustainable economic growth and national progress.
