IEBC conducted the elections after it went viral on social media, making it one of Kenya’s most talked-about school elections.
The election, which has attracted thousands of views across social media platforms, follows weeks of intense campaigning by student candidates seeking leadership positions in the school government.
The race gained national attention after campaign videos showing slogans, debates, alliances, and playful accusations of voter bribery went viral online.
Many Kenyans have described the contest as a “mini State House race” because of how closely it resembles national politics.
Tenri School Students Cast Their Votes
Learners voted for various student leadership positions, including the presidency, after weeks of campaigning and public debates.
The presidential race featured candidates Kingsley Munene, Allan Njue, Sally Mwende, and Precious Nevina, whose campaigns have dominated discussions online.
Supporters of the candidates have organized campaign teams, created posters, and popularized slogans that have attracted significant attention on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
Among the most memorable campaign moments were chants such as:
“Go tell them Sally is back, campaign itapiga kwa ground.”
Another slogan that went viral was Allan’s camp’s energetic “Alo! Alo!” rally cry, which has since become one of the defining phrases of the election season.
From Classroom Election to National Conversation
What started as a student leadership exercise has grown into a national online conversation.
The campaigns featured manifesto promises, strategy meetings, and lively debates that many social media users compared to Kenya’s high-stakes political contests.
At one point, younger pupils reportedly demanded greater representation in the school government, arguing that Junior Secondary School students were dominating key leadership positions.
The election also generated humorous claims of voter influence through biscuits, sweets, snacks, and pocket money, adding to the entertainment surrounding the contest.
Debate and Media Attention
The election debate attracted widespread interest online, with the school’s election committee welcoming media coverage of the process.
The debate and election activities have been streamed and shared through the school’s official social media platforms, allowing the public to follow developments in real time.
