Hon. Evans Nyabayo Champions Unity Among Diaspora Communities in Mombasa
At a key meeting held in Changamwe Sub-County, Mombasa, Interim Executive Director Hon. Evans Nyabayo emphasized the need for unity among upcountry communities residing in the region. Highlighting the significant representation of upcountry groups—nearly 80% of Mombasa’s population—Hon. Nyabayo called for collective action to address their historical exclusion from meaningful political processes.
“Today, I had the privilege of uniting nine diaspora communities in Mombasa,” Hon. Nyabayo said. “Our goal is to ensure the Maasai, Meru, Kalenjin, Kikuyu, Kisii, Luo, Luhya, Embu, and Kamba communities speak with one voice during the 2027 General Elections. Together under PFRD, we can overcome divisions and make our voices heard. The youth must lead this movement, ensuring we are not just participants but decision-makers shaping Kenya's future.”
The meeting inspired optimism among attendees, many of whom expressed their commitment to the PFRD’s vision.
Peter Mwangi, a youth leader from Changamwe, shared:
“For years, our communities have been fragmented and politically marginalized. PFRD offers us a platform for unity and empowerment.”
Aisha Odhiambo from the Luo community echoed similar sentiments:
“With PFRD, young people finally have a chance to lead and make a difference. We are ready to take charge of our future.”
Hon. Nyabayo concluded his address by stating, “Changamwe Sub-County stands with PFRD. Together, we will succeed and secure our rightful place in Kenya’s politics.”

Technological Innovation: PFRD’s ICT System Redefines Political Party Operations
As part of its commitment to transparency and efficiency, PFRD has implemented an advanced ICT system that sets a new benchmark for political parties in Kenya and the region. This state-of-the-art platform leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and Blockchain technology to create a system that is not only secure but also unparalleled in its capabilities.
Hon. Brian Machoka, the Interim Secretary-General, highlighted this technological achievement:
“Our ICT and software systems have applied AI tools and Blockchain technology to develop a unique platform that transforms how political parties operate. This is the first of its kind in the region, and we are confident it will set a new standard. We hope to give every political player in Kenya a run for their money when we formally launch the movement.”
The system has fully digitalized all compliance documentation, including membership records, official appointments, policies, and branch office details. Hon. Machoka emphasized its impact, stating, “This technology not only ensures compliance with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) but also enhances transparency and accountability at every level of our operations.”
The ORPP recently commended PFRD for its innovative approach, noting that its recruitment system and dynamic website set an example for other parties to emulate.

PFRD is building a strong foundation that ensures inclusivity and participation for all Kenyans.”
Branch offices are expected to be fully operational by the end of January, strengthening the party’s grassroots presence and outreach. “By establishing branch offices nationwide, we are bringing PFRD closer to the people and ensuring every Kenyan has a voice in our movement,” said Hon. Machoka.
