On June 17, 2020, President Uhuru Kenyatta made a final pitch for Kenya's seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), emphasizing that a vote for Kenya is a vote for global peace.
Citing Kenya's long history of contributing troops to peacekeeping interventions, the President said Kenya has the right credentials to represent the African continent in the UNSC.
Kenya's bid for a UNSC seat is seen as a significant opportunity for the country to advance the pan-Africanist agenda of global peace, solidarity, and multilateralism.
