Details

It has been a little more than two years since KAS Media Africa hosted the 9th E-lection Bridge in Banjul, The Gambia. Plans to host the 10th edition, in Gaborone, Botswana, in May 2020 did not materialise and we all know why. Finally, that conference is here.

The event in Gaborone will be attended by important representatives of partner parties of KAS from across Africa. The presentations and deliberations will centre around election campaigning in times of the pandemic, on Chinese versus Western party cooperation and participants will, of course, hear about the history and politics of the host country, Botswana. In addition to politicians, participants will also include strategists and academics from Africa, Europe and the US.
