The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nakuru has halted the national elections for the Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied Workers (KUDHEIHA) due to alleged constitutional violations and intimidation tactics. A petition filed by Lawyer Tonge Yoya claims the electoral process was compromised, specifically accusing current Secretary-General Albert Njeru of unilaterally calling elections against union rules.

• The elections were scheduled for February 28th.
• The union’s constitution stipulates national elections between April 1st to June 30th, 2026.
• The Secretary-General Albert Njeru is accused of intimidating other candidates and withholding delegate names.
• The case is set for mention on March 12, 2026.
