A total sample of 100 respondents was selected. The study findings established the youth's rapid desire for politics and social service delivery and how relevant they have been in the study area. The biggest challenge was poverty as most were incapable of helping themselves in politics as most politics in the region have been commercialized. Furthermore, the standards of living and privileges associated with the older politicians have attracted participation without assessment.
