The initiative, organized by GenZ in Politics, aims to engage traders and the public in the 2027 electoral process. Led by Sunmola Olashile, the Convener of GenZ in Politics and Consultant to the Ogun State Governor, the campaign is part of the broader Market-to-Market Engagement Campaign. Olashile emphasized the importance of voter education in ensuring eligible voters understand the voting process and cast their ballots correctly. During the engagement, the group instructed traders on how to properly thumbprint their ballot papers to avoid mistakes that could invalidate their votes. The campaign has already garnered attention from market participants, who are learning about the voting process through practical demonstrations. As political activities ramp up ahead of the 2027 general elections, the group plans to expand the campaign to other markets and communities across Ogun State, focusing on political awareness, voter education, and grassroots interaction.",
