At least 15,000 members of the Lawyer Society of Kenya (LSK) are voting in nationwide elections to select new leadership for the next two years.
The elections are taking place across the country, with members casting their votes to choose representatives for various positions.
Notable contenders for the LSK president post include Peter Wanyama, Faith Odhiambo, Benard Kipng’etich, Njoki Mboce, and Carolyne Kamende. The successful candidate will succeed Eric Theuri, whose two-year term has concluded.
Voting is taking place at 36 centers throughout Kenya, and the announcement of the winner will follow the completion of vote tallying at LSK headquarters on Gatanga Road, Nairobi.
Polling stations opened at 8:00 am, and the election process is expected to conclude at 5:00 pm. Besides the president, positions such as vice president and gender representative will also be filled during these elections.
