Political strategist Saitabao Kanchory has said Kenya is already undergoing a significant political shift, arguing that the country has entered a phase of sustained, people-driven change that is unlikely to be reversed.
In a statement shared on X on Sunday, February 8, 2026, Kanchory described the developments in Kenya as part of a broader regional momentum that could eventually ripple across East Africa, particularly in Uganda and Tanzania.
The lawyer who doubled up as the late Raila Odinga’s chief agent in the 2022 General Election argued that Kenya has moved beyond the early stages of political agitation and is now firmly in a transition phase, noting that major political transformations rarely occur in a single dramatic moment. Instead, he said, change unfolds gradually through a sequence of interconnected events.
“The key difference between Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania is that the process of revolution has already kicked off in Kenya. Revolutions are not events but a series of events,” part of Kanchory’s statement reads.
According to Kanchory, once such a process begins, it follows a clear trajectory, passing through different stages before reaching a point where citizens decisively shape the direction of governance and national priorities.
“Once that train leaves the station, it may go through different stops and stages, but the destination is certain: The people shall have their way,” Saitabao Kanchory’s statement reads.
He also pointed to the interconnected nature of politics in the region, noting that developments in one country often influence public discourse and political action in neighbouring states. Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania share deep economic links, overlapping political interests, and strong cross-border social ties, making political shifts in Nairobi closely watched in Kampala and Dodoma.
Kanchory’s remarks come at a time of heightened political debate in Kenya, with growing public scrutiny of governance, accountability, and economic management. Observers say such discussions could shape not only Kenya’s political trajectory but also broader conversations about leadership and citizen power across East Africa.
