  • Kenya General Elections, 4 March 2013
    Texte GENERAL ELECTIONS IN KENYA ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION 2-6 March 2013 REPORT BY KRZYSZTOF LISEK, CHAIR OF THE DELEGATION Annexes: I. List of participating MEPs II. Declaration of Mr Krzysztof Lisek, Chair of the EP Delegation EN EN INTRODUCTION Following an invitation on 11 April 2012 from the Chair of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of Kenya and the decision of the High Representative and Vice-President of the Commission Mrs Catherine Ashton on the deployment of an EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM), the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament authorised on 17 January 2013 the sending of a delegation to observe the presidential, parliamentary, and local elections in Kenya. The European Parliament has always attached the greatest importance to the development of the democratic process in Kenya. Though holding elections since 1962 and a multiparty democracy since 1992, the country had serious institutional problems which made it hard for elections to be completed smoothly. After the violent clashes following the Kenyan elections in December 2007, the 2013 General elections - which took place under a completely new legal framework - were of vital importance for the country. The EU Election Observation Mission, present in Kenya since 19 January 2013, was led by Chief Observer Alojz PETERLE, a former Prime Minister of Slovenia and a Member of the European Parliament. Altogether the EOM deployed 65 observers (from 26 different EU Member States, as well as from Norway and Switzerland) in the country. A delegation of the European Parliament joined the EU EOM on 2 March. The delegation, led by Mr Krzysztof LISEK, was also composed of Mr Eduard KUKAN, Ms Eleni THEOCHAROUS, Mr Enrique GUERRERO SALOM, Mr Patrice TIROLIEN, Mr Jan MULDER, and Mr Jacek WŁOSOWICZ.

Language and Politics: An Analysis of the Semantics, Political Discourses and Sociolinguistics of Kenyan Political Party Names. Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies, 4(9), 50 - 74. Language and Politics: An Analysis of the Semantics, Political Discourses and Sociolinguistics of Kenyan Political Party Names By Dr. Moses James Olenyo Malande (PhD) Senior Lecturer in English and linguistics Department of English Adi Keih College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) University of Asmara The State of Eritrea-Horn of Africa [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract Kenya Political Party (KPP) name construction is often realised using many different elements central to which is language. Language-linguistics provides resources upon which KPP name creators assign political meaning. The choice of an appropriate language (like English or Kiswahili) and the appropriate linguistic resources becomes a necessity in the construction of a KPP name that is easily recognised by voters. The linguistic strategy employed in the creation of a KPP name that easily attracts voter attention is an area of concern to this study. This paper detects then examines how KPP name creators meticulously influence language use at the semantic, political discourse and sociolinguistic levels resulting in linguistic manipulation at the structural design, phrase expansions, phrase deletions, semantics, mixed code data, sense relations, associative meanings, political discourses and abbreviations manipulations within KPP names. Key words: Kenya, KPP names, semantics, mixed code data, abbreviations, linguistic manipulations and political discourse 50 Copyright © 2020 Centre for Democracy, Research and Development (CEDRED), Nairobi, Kenya.

Parts of this document may be reproduced for non-commercial use without permission from the authors, provide that acknowledgement is given to Youth Agenda. Foreword The representation and participation of young women in political parties is crucial to the success of political parties and also to the development of young women. This study determines the status of young women in political parties, more so, their representation and participation. The introduction of multi-parties in 1991 was expected to herald a democratic and inclusive political culture. Over time however, political parties have metamorphosed into institutions managed by a few individuals and which act as vehicles for these individuals political mileage. Women and especially young women have been excluded from political parties’ activities and from the leader- ship of the parties. The new Constitutional dispensation promises to transform political parties into institutions that promote democracy and national unity as well as inclusivity. The Political Parties Act, 2011 provides for political parties with a national outlook which ensures that women, youth, people with disabilities and minority communities are represented and participate in these institutions. It is therefore critical to empower young women to take advantage of the new opportunities availed by the Constitution and meaningfully participate in political parties. It is based on the foregoing that Youth Agenda commissioned a Baseline Study to establish the level of representation and participation of young women in political parties.
