TEP Party Vows to Take Over Government, Promises Radical Electoral and Economic Reforms

-
As Kenya braces for a season of heightened political activity, The Equitable Party (TEP) has declared its ambitions to unseat the Kenya Kwanza government in the next general elections. TEP party leader Dr. Gilbert Shanga, flanked by former Vihiga Deputy Governor and party stalwart Dr. Patrick Saisi, says the party has laid down comprehensive plans to form the next government.

Speaking during a press briefing, Dr. Shanga highlighted key reforms the party intends to implement if elected foremost being the overhaul of the country’s electoral system. In response to growing national outrage and eroding public trust in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Dr. Shanga said his administration would scrap the current electoral body and introduce an electronic voting system.

“Elections in Kenya have historically been marred by irregularities that threaten peace and undermine democracy. We must restore faith in the process,” said Shanga. “Electronic voting offers speed, accuracy, and transparency. We want every media house in Kenya to air the entire election process live for full accountability.”

In a bold move to address Kenya’s ballooning public debt, TEP has pledged to conduct a national debt audit to determine the extent of the country's financial obligations. Dr. Shanga emphasized the need for transparency in public borrowing, assuring citizens that any funds misappropriated in previous administrations would be recovered.
“We cannot lead a country with hidden debts. Our government will account for every coin,” said Dr. Shanga. “Those who stole public money will be given a grace period to return it. Failure to comply will result in prosecution and jail time.”

Youth empowerment also featured prominently in TEP’s agenda. Dr. Shanga reiterated the party’s commitment to placing young people at the center of leadership, noting that Kenya’s youth majority must be given the opportunity to drive the nation’s progress.

“Young people are the future, but they are also the now. Our government will prioritize youth leadership at all levels,” he said.

Founded in 2022, The Equitable Party currently boasts over 1,000 registered members and is steadily gaining momentum as a serious political contender. With its promise of radical reform and fresh leadership, TEP hopes to galvanize support across the country ahead of the next general election.
As the political landscape continues to shift, all eyes will be on TEP to see whether its promises of change can translate into electoral victory.
