A nation must think before it acts.
An Analysis of Kenya’s 2022 National Elections
August 09, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Africa Program
About the Event
Kenya’s national elections for president and for members of the senate and parliament will be held on August 9, 2022. While Kenyan voters in the past have been divided along tribal or ethnic lines, this year’s elections are expected to focus on economic inequities caused by official corruption and on the economic destabilization caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. FPRI trustee and Africa Program chair Charles A. Ray will be joined by Professor Gilbert Khadiagala from the Africa Center for the Study of the U.S. at the University of the Witwatersrand and Paul Nantulya, a Research Associate at the National Defense University’s Africa Center for Strategic Studies for an analysis of Kenya’s elections and what they portend for democracy on the continent.
