At just 26, she not only contested for the highly competitive Kasipul parliamentary seat but also managed to inspire 26 people to cast their votes in her favor.
She faced tough competition from two male frontrunners backed by significant financial resources and political networks in one of Kenya’s most intense by-elections in recent years.
Despite not winning the seat, Jaezmin remains undeterred.
She has vowed to return stronger in 2027, signaling her determination to continue representing young voices in Kenyan politics.
