With the 2027 General Election approaching, faith leaders have joined forces with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), and World Vision Kenya to build a coordinated campaign against political violence, hate speech and other threats to national cohesion.
The partnership seeks to move peace efforts beyond traditional calls for calm from pulpits and mosques to practical interventions, including early warning, mediation, youth engagement, digital monitoring and rapid response to emerging conflicts.
Speaking on Wednesday during a joint forum in Nairobi, the organisations and participating faith leaders warned that political intolerance, ethnic mobilisation, misinformation, youth exclusion and unresolved economic and social grievances could undermine peaceful elections if left unaddressed.
