The workshop aimed at promoting youth representation in politics and governance, notes the lack of implementation of the ‘ not too young to run’ law as older persons still dominate parties’ candidacy in elections.
The workshop was put together by the International Republican Institute and the national endowment for democracy ahead of the 2023 general elections.
