The countdown to the much-awaited Law Society of Kenya (LSK) elections has begun, with the polls set for February 19, 2026.
The official campaign window closes today, wrapping up weeks of vigorous outreach and lobbying efforts by aspirants aiming to steer the legal profession.
Advocates nationwide are expected to vote for new office bearers, including the President, Vice President, and Council Members.
In the race for the presidency are Peter Wanyama, Charles Kanjama, and Mwaura Kabata, each running on platforms centred on reforms, transparency, and amplifying the voice of the Bar.
The election comes at a pivotal time as Kenya edges closer to the next General Election, placing the LSK at the heart of major constitutional and governance debates.
Outgoing President Faith Odhiambo’s term has been characterised by robust advocacy on constitutional issues and the welfare of members, shaping what many view as a consequential contest for the society’s future.
With voting day fast approaching, candidates are delivering their final messages to members ahead of the ballot.
