阿登巴·艾伦斯 (Ademba Allans) 正在让在肯尼亚 (Kenya) 投票变得“很酷”。

这一结果让他和许多肯尼亚政治观察家感到震惊——截至登记期结束时，全国各地已有260万新选民完成登记。他计划在下一轮中争取另外230万选民加入。

他告诉我，“这是Z世代参与政治的方式——有趣、潮流、性感、时尚。因为我们成功地营造了围绕它的热度，人们产生了错失恐惧症。每个人都想参与其中。”

Z世代 (Gen Z)，指的是1990年代末和2000年代初出生的人群，两年前伴随着大规模抗议活动横空出世，这些抗议活动迫使政府撤回了一项广受诟病的税收法案。然而，他们的胜利之后却是警方的镇压，造成数十名示威者死伤。

The student journalist turned civic mobiliser launched a voter registration drive on social media earlier this year, using snappy selfies infused with music and humour to target young people.

The result astonished him and many observers of Kenyan politics – by the time the registration period ended, 2.6 million new voters across the country had signed up. He is aiming to get another 2.3 million on board in the next round.

"It was the Gen Z way of doing politics," he tells me. "Fun, trendy, sexy, fashionable. Because of how we created the hype around it, people had the fear of missing out. Everybody wanted to be involved."

Gen Z, the term used to describe people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s, burst onto the scene two years ago with mass protests that forced the government to retreat on a widely unpopular tax bill. But their victory was followed by a police crackdown that killed and injured dozens of demonstrators.

Now many young Kenyans are planning to move from the street to the ballot box, angry with a political establishment they accuse of corruption and police brutality.

And they have the numbers to make a difference - more than 30% of voting-age Kenyans are younger than 35.

Polls suggest President William Ruto is looking vulnerable.
