When Faith Norah Lukosi stood before a cheering crowd in Makadara to declare her bid for Member of Parliament, it wasn’t just another political announcement — it was a statement of courage.
The Youth Fund Director, known for her vibrant energy and passion for community empowerment, is stepping into the ring to face veteran politician George Aladwa, a name long associated with the constituency’s leadership.
But for Norah, this isn’t about fame or political power — it’s about restoring faith in leadership and giving the people of Makadara a voice that listens and delivers.
💬 “Makadara Deserves Better”
In her fiery declaration speech, Norah didn’t mince words.
“Makadara deserves better leadership — leaders who don’t disappear after elections, leaders who finish what they start, and leaders who believe in the people they represent,” she said.
Her message hit home for many residents who’ve grown frustrated with unfulfilled promises and stalled projects. She vowed to champion transparency, youth employment, and community development.
👩🏽💼 From Youth Fund to Political Frontline
Faith Norah’s rise hasn’t been easy. As a Director at the Youth Fund, she’s spent years advocating for opportunities for young people — helping them start businesses, secure training, and find purpose.
Her work has made her a familiar name among Kenya’s youth empowerment circles. Now, she’s channeling that experience into a broader mission: to transform Makadara into a model constituency where government funds work for the people.
“I’ve seen what good leadership can do when resources are used wisely. Makadara can rise again — but it starts with accountability,” she added.
⚖️ The George Aladwa Factor
Faith’s main opponent, George Aladwa, is a seasoned ODM politician and former Nairobi Mayor who’s held the Makadara seat since 2013.
While Aladwa commands strong grassroots networks, critics argue that the constituency’s development has stagnated under his leadership. Roads remain in poor condition, youth joblessness is high, and some community projects have stalled mid-way.
Norah’s campaign directly taps into this frustration, positioning herself as a fresh alternative — young, fearless, and results-driven.
💡 Her Vision for Makadara
Faith Norah’s blueprint for the constituency focuses on three key pillars:
-
Empowering the Youth: Practical training programs, job creation, and financial literacy.
-
Accountable Leadership: Full transparency on CDF projects and public spending.
-
Community Development: Improved schools, clean water access, and infrastructure revival.
Her slogan — “Faith in Change, Power to the People” — reflects her belief that leadership should be service, not self-interest.
🌍 The Bigger Picture
Norah’s announcement has already stirred political conversations beyond Makadara. Analysts say her entry symbolizes a generational shift — the rise of young leaders ready to challenge political veterans.
If she maintains her momentum, Faith Norah could become one of the most talked-about new faces in Kenya’s 2027 elections.
Her courage to confront established figures like Aladwa signals a growing appetite for new leadership, accountability, and inclusion in Kenyan politics.
✊🏽 Final Word
Faith Norah’s story is one of boldness — a young woman breaking barriers, daring to speak truth to power, and offering Makadara a different kind of leadership.
Her journey has just begun, but one thing is clear: the people are watching, and 2027 may mark the start of a new chapter — not just for Makadara, but for the future of youth-driven politics in Kenya.
