What started in Naivasha continues beyond the forum; here are some of their perspectives.🗣️🙌

A strong political idea means little if it cannot move beyond the room. Today’s discussions challenged us to think about how ideas become initiatives and how initiatives can translate into meaningful change. #InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding

The question isn’t whether young political leaders are ready for 2027. It’s whether we are preparing ourselves for the kind of political leadership we want to bring into 2027. #InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding

Different political affiliations do not have to prevent collaboration. Today’s discussions showed the value of creating spaces where young people can disagree, learn from one another and still work towards shared goals.

Elections are won long before election day. Today’s conversation focused on what happens before then: building volunteer structures, engaging communities and organising meaningfully at the grassroots.

Young political leaders need more than ambition for 2027. We need preparation, strategy an understanding of the issues and the ability to organise responsibly. #InterPartyDialogue #YouthLeadership #PeaceBuilding

Cross-party dialogue is not about pretending we agree. It is about learning to navigate our differences while creating room for collaboration where our interests and aspirations intersect.

Today’s panel on electoral integrity highlighted the role young people can play in preventing electoral violence, observing and reporting electoral processes and working with institutions and peace actors to strengthen confidence in elections.

@KidiMwaga2 spoke about the importance of peaceful coexistence within political spaces. We may belong to different parties and hold different views, but that should not prevent us from learning, engaging and building together.

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

We asked young people what democracy means to them and what it takes to protect, participate in and shape it. What does democracy mean to you?

Young aspirants must navigate party nominations with integrity and vision. Convener KidiMwaga prepares Peace Champions2027 for ethical leadership ahead of 2027. #InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding.

Political ambition needs preparation. Wanting to contest is only the beginning. Credible leadership requires strategy, integrity, an understanding of the issues and the ability to turn ideas into a compelling vision for communities.

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

Preparation is the foundation of meaningful political participation. Young leaders are gaining the tools and perspectives to engage effectively in the political process ahead of 2027.

Ideological diversity is part of the beauty of democracy. We do not need identical political views to share a country, a future or a commitment to peaceful democratic participation.

@KidiMwaga2

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

Today’s conversations pushed us to look beyond elections themselves. The political culture we want in 2027 is being shaped by what we practise today, how we compete, communicate, organise and respond to differences.
#InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding
@KidiMwaga2

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

One reflection from today’s discussions: young people cannot afford to remain campaign mobilisers without becoming agenda-setters. Our political participation should influence the issues being discussed and the decisions being made.
#InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding @KidiMwaga2

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

Peace cannot be outsourced to institutions. It is also a choice made by citizens every day. Young political leaders have a responsibility to model the peaceful, inclusive politics they want to see.

Building spaces for young people to engage across political divides requires intentional leadership. Convener Kidi Mwanga continues to bring young leaders to connect, learn and prepare for meaningful democratic participation ahead of 2027.

#InterPartyDialogue #PeaceBuilding

[Inter-Partys Youth Forum - IPYF @_IPYF]

In a politically divided environment, communication becomes leadership. Being able to challenge misinformation, listen across differences and defend your ideas without demeaning others is a skill young leaders must cultivate.
