NGEC Chairperson Hon. Rehema Jaldesa and Vice Chairperson Thomas Koyier, EBS, led a Commission delegation on a courtesy visit to the National Democratic Institute (NDI) Kenya.
The delegation was received by the Institute’s Country Director, Mr Dennis Omondi, and his team. The engagement explored how the two institutions can work together to ensure that more women, young people and other Special Interest Groups take part in shaping the country’s leadership.
BARRIERS TO NOMINATION
Discussions focused on the barriers women face during political party nominations and the need for stronger representation in leadership.
The two institutions also identified opportunities for joint advocacy, stakeholder engagement, electoral monitoring and reforms that promote transparency, accountability and inclusion in political processes.
A SHARED AGENDA
Through the partnership, the Commission and NDI Kenya seek to translate commitments to equality into meaningful opportunities for participation and representation, so that women, young people and other Special Interest Groups are included, heard and actively involved as Kenya looks towards the 2027 General Election.
