A legal storm is brewing around Francis Atwoli following a petition challenging his re-election for a sixth consecutive term at the helm of Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU).
The petitioners argue that the election process violated the legally mandated union election cycle, raising serious concerns about adherence to constitutional and organizational rules. They further claim that the exercise was fundamentally flawed, alleging that some affiliated labour unions were excluded from participating in the vote.
If upheld, the case could have significant implications for leadership stability within COTU and potentially reshape governance standards across Kenya’s labour movement.
The court’s determination will likely hinge on whether due process was followed and whether all eligible unions were fairly represented in the election.
