13 November 2026: ORPP, through its Mombasa-based team, participated in a multi-stakeholder engagement forum in Taita Taveta County, convened by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC). The forum brought together key stakeholders to deliberate on interventions aimed at promoting peace, national cohesion and peaceful political participation ahead of the 2027 General Election.
During the forum, the ORPP team engaged stakeholders on the Office’s electoral roadmap and key preparedness milestones, highlighting ongoing efforts to promote inclusive, peaceful and responsible political participation.
The team emphasised the critical role of political actors in fostering peaceful political competition through mutual respect, tolerance and issue-based politics, particularly in the face of divergent political views and interests.
Participants, drawn from various state and non-state institutions, underscored the need for sustained institutional collaboration and citizen-centred approaches to peacebuilding. They reaffirmed the importance of collective efforts in promoting national cohesion and creating an enabling environment for peaceful and credible elections.
