The fulcrum of this seminar is the 2007 General Elections (or electoral outcome) in Kenya, the Kriegler Commission and the 2005 constitutional referendum.

In accordance with CAS thematic platform ‘Sovereignities and Citizenship’, this seminar will look into elections, citizenship and the boundaries of belonging in a democracy.

The presentation will discuss how solutions to this electoral dispute were found, what instruments were used, and document why the picture was much more complicated than first thought.

The seminar will also reflect on post 2008 institutional and political development, i.e. the democratization process; the electorate, their understanding of democracy, citizenship, political culture, political campaigning etc.
