In March 2024, the Kenyan "people's meeting," the People Dialouge Festival, was held for the sixth time. The festival took place at the University of Nairobi and drew over 2000 people each day for four days. DLDP, the Social Democratic Party, the Conservative People's Party, and the Green Left support PDF through a joint partnership in Kenya.
