Presidential Candidates' Discussion
Public Engagement
Voter apathy, and poor voter turnout can be attributed to a myriad of complex and inter-related issues, of which some are the lack of awareness, insufficient information on candidates and their related manifestos and party programmes. Hence, KAS are organising a Presidential Candidates' Discussion slated for Thursday 23 May 2024 at the Hilton Hotel at 17:00, to allow the public to engage and hear from Presidential candidates hopefuls. It is a platform to share presidential candidates' intentions and stance on key policy issues, as a way to contribute to the general vigour and robustness of democratic and political discourse.
