Ballots Over Bullets is a rallying cry for a generation standing at the crossroads. In the fictional nation of Zinjara, the youth are trapped between the weight of a silent government and the shadow of brutality in uniform. They have marched, they have mourned, they have buried their dreams alongside their dead-but now, they are learning the power of the ballot. Through powerful prose, raw testimonies, and poetic storytelling, Victor Mwendwa Muthoka channels the voices of a silenced generation-from the crowded streets of Kibich to the forgotten villages-demanding dignity, justice, and a future worth living for. This book is not just a mirror reflecting the struggles of African youth-it is a map toward hope. It blends history, political insight, and the unyielding heartbeat of activism to inspire young people to rise, register, and reclaim their power. If you have ever questioned the worth of your voice, this book will remind you: your vote is your loudest weapon. Perfect for readers of political memoirs, African literature, civic education, and social justice narratives. Themes include: youth empowerment, democracy, Pan-Africanism, police brutality, and the fight for a fairer future.
