Your participation is important because the nation wants and needs to hear your opinion. Voting is a fundamental right and a big opportunity to be a part of the politics. It is your chance to share your opinion on questions like: “Who should be getting tax breaks?”, “Should the government help in funding education?” etc. your opinion will be heard and reflected in the form of your vote and will help in shaping the future of our country.
- It is your chance to bring about the change you always wanted
Raila Odinga is positioning himself as a candidate for change. He is thinking about government accountability and making this a referendum on the 2010 constitution and efforts to implement that fully. On the other hand, Kenyatta promises big development projects in the future. His primary focus is on economic growth and regional security issues. It is completely your call to cast your vote to that leading presidential candidate, which is more likely to support the change you are looking for.
- Voting gives you a platform to be heard
Every time you vote, you exercise this powerful medium of expression. The process of voting allows every citizen to have a say in what should constitute the matters of importance in a nation. If you do not cast your vote, you are giving up on the chance of being heard. If you feel the ruling government is not performing its duties satisfactorily, you can simply be heard by voting against it.
- Exercise this right to vote will full awareness
Your vote will not only be impactful to your own nation but also the relationship your nation shares with other nations.
