Kampala, Uganda, Oct 31 – The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in Kenya has announced that the election of five sugar growers to represent their interests on the Kenya Sugar Board will take place on November 24, 2026. This date comes after various delays, primarily due to a court case concerning the election process.
The Ministry outlined that the election will adhere to the Sugar Act 2024 and follow court orders. The process commenced on May 12, 2026, with a call for applications, which was subsequently extended on August 7. The Elections Committee released the final list of candidates on August 20. The final voters' register has since been published on the Kenya Sugar Board's website and posted at various locations.
Initial elections had been postponed as a result of a legal challenge, which centered on the zoning of sugar grower representatives. A farmer from Malava in Kakamega County had argued in court that the current arrangement did not sufficiently represent growers in his region.
