Do manifestos still sway voters? @ShikamoCampaign says campaigns are rarely won by manifestos. While a well-written policy document outlines a vision, it does not move voters to the polls. Elections are won by structural precision, technical expertise, and a flawless ground game

[Shikamo Political Advisory and Campaign Services @ShikamoCampaign]

Campaigns are rarely won by manifestos. While a well-written policy document outlines a vision, it does not move voters to the polls. Elections are won by structural precision, technical expertise, and a flawless ground game. A brilliant strategy on paper is useless without the operational architecture to execute it. Winning requires data-driven voter targeting, seamless logistical coordination, and a highly disciplined field operation. Do not just write a vision for the future, build the infrastructure capable of delivering it. Build a machine, not a book. #VoterIntelligence #Shikamo

According to @IPE_Official_ 1.5 billion eligible voters don’t vote. Millions more aren’t registered. The biggest challenge in politics today isn’t persuasion, it’s participation. Next year's #IPE27 provides a global platform to rethink campaigning to reclaim the #MissingVoter

1.5billion eligible voters don’t vote. Millions more aren’t registered.

[Political Campaigns Resource Hub @ResourceHub_HQ]

Bridging the gap betwn technology & voter participation is at the heart of what we do @ResourceHub_HQ . The #MissingVoter is not lost, they need to be reached, engaged & empowered. We look forward to driving this conversation in #CapeTown 5-6 August 2027. #GlobalParticipationGap

[International Political Campaigns Expo @IPE_Official_]

#PoliticalCampaigns are now more technologically sophisticated yet millions are still not registering to vote and millions who are registered are still not voting.

That is why #IPE27 addresses the Global Participation Gap to reclaim the #MissingVoter.

“The young voter is disillusioned…” listen to @Gcotyelwa_J, political campaigns specialist at #PCRH, as she speaks to @eNCA about voter registration. @IECSouthAfrica

The incumbent has one solution,which is to use Macky Sall tactic of using law fare to ban Sonko from standing in 2029.

But will Senegalese accept it ? Time will tell!

Every campaign generates data. Almost none of it gets used for decisions.
We change that, turning field activity into structured campaign intelligence.

📍 Voter contacts. Ward issues. Mobilisation data. Resource signals.

Why We Exist

Political campaigns shape the future of nations. Yet campaigning remains one of the least professionalised sectors in many parts of the world.

Too often campaigns are driven by instinct rather than evidence, personalities rather than systems, and noise rather than strategy.

The International Centre for Political Campaigns exists to change that.

We were founded on a simple belief: political campaigns should be informed by data, strengthened by research, powered by technology, guided by strategy, and measured by results.

Our mission is to build an ecosystem that develops campaign professionals, advances campaign knowledge, creates innovative tools, strengthens political communication, and equips leaders and organisations to run more effective campaigns.

From advisory services and campaign communications to training, research, and campaign technology, we are working to professionalise the practice of political campaigning across Africa and beyond.

Because campaigns are not accidents.

They are engineered.

And campaigns deserve nothing less.

What separates political winners from spectators in African politics? Strategy.

Every election produces candidates. Very few produce campaigns engineered to win.

That is why Africa’s only executive course dedicated exclusively to political campaigning is back. How to Run Winning Political Campaigns has returned and the 2026 cohort is already fully subscribed.

This is not theory for lecture halls. It is a practical, high-level programme designed for those who understand that campaigns are not accidents. They are engineered through strategy, data, mobilisation, communication, and disciplined execution.

Delivered through a pioneering partnership between Political Campaigns Resource Hub and University of Cape Town, the programme reflects a growing recognition that Africa deserves world-class political campaign education tailored to its own realities, complexities, and democratic transitions.

25 campaign leaders | 6 African countries | 5 transformative days

Cape Town | 28 September to 2 October 2026

The next generation of African political leadership is already preparing for the battles ahead.

The question is simple: will you be in the room next time, or studying those who were?

#PoliticalCampaigns shape nations, yet across Africa they still run on instinct, not structured knowledge.

Smart candidates prepare for winning and losing, but the smartest ones use the time between elections to build relationships, grow their base, and keep their message alive.
