Nominated MCA Eunice Atieno Miruka has challenged the youth in the area to come out in 2017 and vie for various political positions.
She said it is the only way to overcome their marginalisation in key decision making on matters affecting the county.
The youthful politician expressed her dissatisfaction with how few youth in the area contest for political seats.
Ms Atieno who was nominated by ODM to represent the youth in the County Assembly said youth in the area should follow her footsteps in coming out to fight for their rights.
"Am sad that majority of the youth in this country are shying away from contesting for political seats. This is why we have been neglected for long as youth of Kisumu. It is high time you come out and we walk together in changing our lives and those of others," said Ms Atieno.
She further asked youth to take advantage of their numerical advantage to conquer the unconquered territories and make their voices heard.
"As a matter of fact, we the youth are the majority in the country. Why then don’t we make our numbers count during elections?" she asked
