International Day of Democracy 2026 | Democracy Under Strain, Futures in Focus – Kenya

Join Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) and the University of Nairobi’s Department of Political Science and Public Administration as they mark the 2026 International Day of Democracy with a public dialogue on Kenya’s democratic future. Under the theme “Democracy Under Strain, Futures in Focus: Advancing Anticipatory Governance and Citizen-Centred Solutions for a Changing Nation,” the dialogue explores Kenya’s current and emerging democratic pressures and looks at how anticipatory governance, strategic foresight and citizen-centred approaches can help strengthen democratic resilience. The discussion brings together voices from government, political parties, civil society, youth, media, academia, and other stakeholders to reflect on Kenya’s democratic journey and consider the kind of democracy the country wants to build for the next generation. 15 September 2026 | University of Nairobi
