This generational battle is driven by a desire for change with younger leaders challenging the old order, blaming seasoned politicians for the country's governance failures.

As younger leaders tirelessly work to sideline what they perceive as the "old guard," they are equally determined to maintain their relevance, in a generational war that is defining the political dynamics of the nation.

Pundits and political leaders have told The Standard that the conflict is not about age; it represents a broader struggle for the soul of Kenyan politics and governance. 

In response to this shifting landscape, new political realignments are emerging that transcend traditional party and ethnic lines. Movements such as Tawe, Radico, and Sikiza Ground are fighting for prominence, symbolising the desire for change and a departure from entrenched political norms.
