NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 — The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) have launched a civic education programme aimed at promoting peaceful participation and tackling hate speech and misinformation ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election.
The initiative, launched at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi in partnership with the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya and the Kenya National Prayer and Transformation Movement, seeks to equip citizens with knowledge of their rights and responsibilities as the country prepares for the next elections.
NCIC Chairperson Bishop Dr Kepha Nyamweya Omae said informed citizens were central to national cohesion, responsible leadership and peaceful elections.
