Inside Team Evolve: Meet the Architects of Kenya’s Political Renewal
Vision, Structure, and the Real Voices Driving Reform

Prof. Fred Ogola: The Candidate with a National Mission
Prof. Fred Ogola stands at the center, determined to break the myth that economic disaster can be solved by mere politics. His message is blunt:
“You cannot tell a mother evicted with her children that relief is four years away. Auctioned youth, families losing hope - 2027 is too late. Kenya’s crisis demands solutions now.”
Why Kenya Must Evolve
Professor Ogola declared that Kenya is broken because leaders do not consume the same services as citizens:
Healthcare: MPs and top officials enjoy millions in private cover, while ordinary Kenyans rely on failing NHIF.
Education: Politicians send their children abroad, showing no faith in local schools.
Infrastructure: Public money buys luxury cars instead of fixing roads.
“It will become illegal to use public funds for private services while citizens suffer. Leaders must consume what Kenyans consume.”
He stressed that politics has replaced governance, feeding a privileged few while millions remain hungry:
“Since independence, every president has fed his 5,000. Yet we are 56 million. We must evolve from feeding a few to serving all.”
One central solution: jobs for every Kenyan.
“Dignity begins with decent work. Our economy will focus on creating jobs so families can thrive here, not struggle abroad.”
Why Jobs Matter
“A job is what every youth, every parent, and every grandparent wants for their children. Jobs lower the cost of living, drive production, and open export markets. We cannot wait until 2027 - we are rolling this out now.”
Charles Ole Kapaiku: Chairman, Advisory Council
“People assume Prof. Ogola is a lone operator - they are wrong. Team Evolve is the council. Kenya now employs politicians instead of politicians employing its citizens. This is why jobs are disappearing, and children are told to find work abroad. That must end.”
His leadership brings operational clarity and accountability to strategic action.
Mama Laila: Deputy Chair, Mashinani Visionary
Mama Laila, is the true advocate for grassroots voices:
“Watu wa mashinani raundi hii tumeangaziwa... Kwa niaba ya chama cha Hekima, tumependekeza Prof. Ogola awe mgombea wa urais. Sauti za wananchi kutoka matabaka mbalimbali sasa zinasikizwa. Mwanamke wa mashinani amehusishwa katika meza ya kitaifa.”
Mashinani Agenda pillars:
Hekima Mashinani
Afya Mashinani
Heshima Mashinani
Maendeleo Mashinani
Kazi Mashinani
Rasilimali Mashinani
Hela Mashinani
Calystus Wafula: Reform Advocate
Calystus Wafula exposes the root of the unemployment crisis:
“Corruption has killed production. Kenya’s resources are stolen, jobs destroyed. If Prof. Ogola is president, corruption will become a national disaster. All stolen funds - local or abroad - will be locked down and retrieved.”
He challenges Kenya’s labor export:
“Our youth are exported to work foreign farms, as we import finished goods? We are consumers, not producers. That must end.”
Brian T. Ogolla: Principal Strategist
Brian transforms youth activism into executives’ discipline:
“The test was to convert street advocacy into systems. No job should go unfilled, and every policy must be measured against dignity. We don’t just hope - we plan, we deliver.”
Marrion Mwendwa: Youth Voice, University of Nairobi
Mariron channels Gen Z urgency:
“Gen Z will not watch as corruption and unemployment become our destiny. Register. Vote. Organize. Make your voice count.”
Dan Lukorito: Transform Kenya Movement
Dan forces focus on action over words:
“Empty phrases cannot feed families. Unemployment requires results, not more promises. Delivery, not debate.”
Annie Thuku: Strategic Youth Organizer
Annie transitions protest into governance:
“Raising placards is not enough. Build county-wide networks and leadership work-groups that last - beyond elections.”
Robert Muturi Chege: Ground Logistics
Robert ensures implementation is no longer theory:
“Policies must reach local barazas, not just boardrooms. My job is to keep Team Evolve’s plan tangible in every ward.”
Rev. Jechoniah Musembi, Redeemed Gospel Church, Eastleigh: Ethics
Rev. Musembi stands as the moral anchor:
“We refuse shallow alliances. Tunataka umoja wa kweli, si tu kutafuta madaraka. Politics must serve the soul of citizens, not ambitions. Without ethics, reform fails.”
The Digital Election Platform: Kenya’s New Standard
Evolve’s digital promise is at the heart of their renewal strategy:
Real-time, tamper-proof polling and digital signatures at every station.
Citizens and media monitor results instantly - no hidden forms, no blackouts.
Alert systems flag any irregularity, with immediate archiving and audit.
Local backups ensure every tally is safely preserved and cross-checked.
Every Kenyan is empowered to verify, report, and monitor election outcomes.
This digital backbone ensures Kenya’s next poll will be the most transparent in Africa.
Beyond Votes: Delivering National Renewal
Jobs are created now, not promised for tomorrow.
Corruption is treated as a disaster - with stolen assets tracked and prosecuted.
Mashinani revolution brings dignity, health, jobs, and finance to rural homes.
The next wave of youth and grassroots leaders is being trained now.
This Is How Kenya Evolves
Evolve is more than talk. With precise systems, ethical vision, and digital democracy, the architects guarantee Kenya’s reformation will be authentic and tracked from the grassroots to the digital ballot box. Every voice - from youth to farmer to mama - shapes the national future.
With Evolve, change means accountable systems, transparent elections, and results that reach every village.
