Lancaster House Conferences (Kenya)

Lancaster House Conferences (Kenya)

The Lancaster House conferences were three meetings (1960, 1962, 1963) in which Kenya's constitutional framework and independence were negotiated.

*The first conference was under the chairmanship of Secretary of State for the Colonies Ian Macleod in 1960. There was no agreement, and McLeod issued an interim constitution.
*The second conference commenced in February 1962, and a framework for self-governance was negotiated.
*The 1963 conference finalized constitutional arrangements for Kenya’s independence as a dominion, marking the end of more than 70 years of colonial rule.
