As anticipation builds for the 2025 Continental People’s Choice Awards, distinguished legislators from across Africa have been named as nominees in recognition of their outstanding contributions to governance and democracy.
Among those shortlisted are Amason Kingi Jeffah, Speaker of the Kenyan Senate; Hanafy Ali El Gebaly, President of Egypt’s House of Representatives; Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas; and Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, alongside other eminent parliamentarians from Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, and Ghana.
This prestigious award, organised by the Africa International Chambers (AIC) in partnership with Souq Nexus and facilitated by Integrated Management Resources (IMR), honours legislators who have demonstrated exemplary leadership, policy innovation, and unwavering dedication to their constituencies.
A distinguished Joint Award Screening Committee, led by Prof. Raju Chandrasekhar, meticulously selected the nominees based on their impact in advancing democratic principles and governance. Formal invitations for the grand award ceremony, slated for June 6, 2025, in Dubai, have been extended to the nominees.
The high-profile event will bring together policymakers, government officials, business leaders, and international dignitaries, providing a prestigious platform to celebrate legislative excellence and foster strategic dialogue on governance and development.
Beyond being an award, the Continental People’s Choice Awards is a globally recognised symbol of leadership and influence. The ceremony will not only highlight the achievements of Africa’s most distinguished lawmakers but also reinforce their credibility on national and international platforms.
With the world watching, the 2025 edition promises to be a defining moment in Africa’s legislative history, solidifying the honourees’ legacy as trailblazers of transformative governance.
