The candidate

A builder, not a talker.

Born in Iga Egbe, Lagos Island — son of a traditional ruler, Ph.D. from Cranfield University, VP at Merrill Lynch in New York. Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat came home to serve Lagos, not to seek power.

Two terms as Deputy Governor. The Works & Infrastructure and Science & Technology portfolios. Now he is asking Lagosians for the chance to lead.

The future of Lagosvotes in 2027.

Lagos has over 3 million young voters between 18 and 30. If you're in that number, this election is yours to decide. We are not leaving Gen Z behind — we are building this city with you.

Step 1 · Your PVC

Your thumb is your power.

No PVC, no vote. It is that simple. Policy is a game of numbers — and every unregistered young Lagosian is a number that doesn't count on election day. Check your status now and register if you haven't.

Check voter status →Register / transfer →

Your generation decides this

18–30 year-olds are the single largest voting bloc in Lagos. No candidate wins without Gen Z.

Change the narrative

We know how every election has gone. We are doing this differently — and we need you in the room.

Build the city you want to live in

Tech hubs, affordable rent, jobs, safe streets — the manifesto is written for you. Hold us to it.

Step 2 · KOHnnect

Join GenZ ✦KOHnnect.
