In his petition, Peter Agoro argues that the council was established to represent the interests of the youth in Kenya, facilitating their involvement in the socio-economic and political development of the country.
He argues that the failure to conduct the required elections has led to a lack of proper representation for the youth.
"Efforts to address this issue with the respondent and other relevant bodies have been met with unsatisfactory responses, adding that the continued delay in conducting elections denies the youth their right to representation and participation in national development.
"It undermines the democratic process and the respondent's credibility," Agoro argues.
He argues that regular elections are crucial for maintaining the legitimacy and accountability of the Council.
"The elections ensure that council members are representatives of the youth's current needs and aspirations," reads court papers.
Similarly, he claims that the delay in conducting the said elections has resulted in prolonged periods of inadequate representation, affecting the council's ability to address and advocate for youth issues effectively."
