As one of the youngest ever female political party leaders of a Kenyan Political Party Ms. Wilkister Aduma speaks to Ms. Diana Sifuna about her experience in Politics and Leadership.
Professionally, Ms. Aduma is the founder of an initiative called Run For Office, whose main objective is to encourage and support young people to run for office and lead while challenging the stereotype that young people run for public offices to seek clout and can not necessarily lead. She has over six years experience in political party administration. She served as the Executive Director of Labour Party of Kenya, the youngest person to hold such a political office at the time. Notably, the Labour Party of Kenya was able to partner with the Danish Youth League on a gender mainstreaming in politics programme, piloted in two counties in the country. In the 2017 elections, she was the Secretariat Head for the Thirdway Alliance Kenya.
Wilkister Aduma studied commerce at the University of Nairobi and is a consultant at Enigma Company Ltd, a company focusing on management consultancy serving private sector, government and civil society. Her area of expertise in consultancy is Youth Development, Youth-responsive policy formulation and technical advice in the same area.
