Liberty with dignity
AFC frames freedom as the ability to speak, worship, associate, vote, develop one’s talents, and make meaningful life choices without poverty, exploitation, or fear.
AFC 2027 Covenant
A clear programme for national renewal
The AFC 2027 Manifesto sets out a programme for a fairer, freer, more accountable Kenya. It brings together democratic renewal, opportunity, public services, community wellbeing, and a commitment to publish progress against what is promised.
The public purpose
Liberty, equality, community and participation
AFC’s public platform is built around the equal worth of every person, the dignity of work and community life, and government that is open, responsive, and answerable to citizens. The manifesto presents these commitments as proposals for public scrutiny and delivery, not as completed achievements.
02
Equality and community
The manifesto links equal rights, fair opportunity, strong public provision, respect for diversity, and shared responsibility within caring communities.
03
Power close to people
AFC supports open government, public participation, strong local government, and decisions taken at the lowest practical level.
