Young Leaders are shaping democracy. Speak up, lead boldly and make change happen. @MichiraGlo @NetoAgostinhoMP @GreenForumSwed @EU_ENoP

Strengthening inner-party democracy is not an internal matter. It is a national democratic imperative. The Youth League Convention held earlier this year as part the @EU_ENoP WYDE-political parties project in partnership with @GreenForum & KEPHRA reaffirmed that political renewal in Kenya must begin inside political parties. Have a look at what young leaders are saying:

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃!!! 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐘!!! 𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒:

This Convection went beyond speeches. Youth leaders identified concrete gaps in party statutes and nomination frameworks and gave proposals for reforms. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @GreenForumSwed @EU_ENoP

The just concluded convection with youth leaders from across various counties reviewing the party manifesto, nomination rules, and internal structures to strengthen inner party democracy. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @GreenForumSwed @EU_ENoP

Youth make up over 70% of Kenya's population, yet hold less than a quarter of elected positions nationwide. Through this Youth League Convection, KEPHRA is confronting the structural barriers inside political parties that often lock youth out long before elections. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @EU_ENoP @GreenForumSwed

This is not a symbolic youth forum. The KEPHRA-hosted convention is designed to produce concrete reform proposals for inclusive nominations and party structures if any. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @EU_ENoP @GreenForumSwed

Political exclusion often happens before elections, inside party rules and structures. Through dialogue and document review, the KEPHRA convention is equipping youth to challenge these barriers In today's session, young aspirants are being taken through the nomination and election rules ahead of the 2027 General Elections. @MichiraGlo @NetoAgostinhoMP @GreenForumSwed @EU_ENoP @NatanyaSialo

At the KEPHRA Youth League Convention, young leaders are sharpening their campaign communication skills and reviewing party manifestos to align them with youth priorities and democratic sustainability. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @EU_ENoP @GreenForumSwed

Honoured to be joined by Therese Näsman, Secretary General of @GreenForumSwed, at the KEPHRA Youth League Convention. She shared an overview of sustainable development, leadership and green politics. @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @GreenForumSwed @EU_ENoP

"Sustainability is good when it protects life and dignity, but even injustice, problems and oppressive systems can be sustained. So we must be careful about what we choose to sustain", Says Moyale constituency young aspirant. @NetoAgostinhoMP @EU_ENoP @MichiraGlo @GreenForumSwed

Despite being the majority, Kenyan youth remain excluded from party leadership and decision-making. KEPHRA is convening a National Youth League Convention to confront this gap by strengthening inner-party democracy from within political party structures. @EU_ENoP

We made an open call for young aspirants from across all 47 counties to register and collectively develop an Accountability Charter ahead of the 2027 General Elections. We received over 500 applications, from which more than 150 aspirants for positions including Governor, Senate, National Assembly and County Assemblies were shortlisted and hosted in Limuru for the Aspirants Accountability Charter Convention. Supported by KEPHRA under the EU’s ENoP - WYDE Political Parties Project, the Convention brought together representatives from every county to co-create a shared accountability framework. Through open contributions and honest engagement, it was clear that many young aspirants are seeking a genuine opportunity to change the governance of their counties and the country at large. The Charter holds all participants to the same accountability standards ahead of the elections, guiding conduct during campaigns and throughout the electoral process. If we are to transform our politics, we must build democratic systems that are inclusive, where accountability still matters and leadership serves the interests of the people. We are proud to have brought together young aspirants from across the nation. Young people are not waiting to inherit the future. They are shaping it. @EU_ENoP @NetoAgostinhoMP @MichiraGlo @GreenForum

Young people aren’t just the future of this country, they are part of its leadership today. When they step forward to vie for office, they deserve a process that is fair, transparent and accountable. As we head into the Young Aspirants National Accountability Charter Convention, we’re underscoring one simple truth: a democracy only works when those seeking to lead can do so without fear, barriers or manipulation. Accountability protects their voice, and in turn, strengthens our institutions. #Politics #Inclusion #Accountability @EU_ENoP @GreenForum

Women remain underrepresented in political spaces, yet they are the ones who shape politics at the grassroots. During the Women League Convention held under the @EU_ENoP WYDE Project, we met inspiring women leaders from across the country. Each one has dared to step into politics and continues to drive change in her community. As we look toward the 2027 general elections, we want their influence seen, valued, and strengthened. We encourage more women to step forward, take up leadership, and keep winning. #Women #Politics #Leadership

🌍Across 27 counties in 🇰🇪, @HumanRightsMPs, together with local women and youth leaders, are advancing ongoing efforts to strengthen inclusive political participation. These trainings are amplifying existing leadership, knowledge, and community initiatives✨#WYDEPoliticalParties

Kephra, in partnership with the Kisii County Government, hosted a public participation forum on the proposed Kisii Food Security and Nutrition Bill, 2025. Advocate Magugu took participants through key provisions of the Bill at Kisii ATC on 12/11/2025. The forum was opened by CEC ALFCD Hon. Erick Miyienda and brought together senior county officials from agriculture, health, trade, administration and public participation. Each of the 45 wards was represented by two farmers who shared their views and proposed amendments. Once adopted, this Bill will strengthen Kisii County’s commitment to ensuring every resident enjoys the right to food. @NetoAgostinhoMP @HBSNairobi @routetofood @KisiiCounty001
