The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) is set to hold its delegates' conference on November 16 and 17.
The meeting comes amid mounting internal divisions and state-backed repression.
The event will bring together delegates from all 47 counties along with international representatives from communist and workers' organisations.
The party’s Vice-Chairman Booker Omole said the conference marks a critical juncture for the party, which has faced increasing political repression.
“Our leadership and members continue to face physical and digital surveillance, state-backed attacks, and betrayal from opportunistic factions,” Omole said.
