The Office, on 15th October 2026, finalized and validated key training materials for the capacity building of political parties ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The materials, each accompanied by a quick user guide and a facilitator’s guide, are: Internal Dispute Resolution Mechanism (IDRM), Manual Election Boards Training Manual, and Nominations/Election Agents Manual
Registrar of political parties noted that the quality of training materials is key to enhancing the participation of parties and candidates in elections and to advancing citizens’ enjoyment of their political rights.
“Taking part in the development and review of such critical materials together with primary stakeholders is essential for a common approach among the bodies. It improves the quality of outcomes for the target participants and the quality of services we offer to citizens,” the Registrar said.
Deputy Director, Political Parties Capacity Building, Anastacia Kaberere, said the review sought to align the materials with the latest developments in political party and electoral processes.
The review forms part of ORPP’s focused capacity-building programme for political parties, aimed at enhancing compliance and their participation in elections.
