A leadership dispute is escalating within the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) as current Secretary General Collins Oyuu firmly rejects former union boss Wilson Sossion's attempt to reclaim the top position.

• Collins Oyuu stated that KNUT will not compromise its constitution or the Labour Relations Act (revised 2022) for any aspirant, including Sossion.
• Wilson Sossion, who resigned in 2021, has declared his interest in contesting for the Secretary General position in the upcoming 2026 union elections.
• A recent Court of Appeal ruling on February 27, 2026, cleared a potential hurdle for Sossion's candidacy by finding his 2018 termination as a teacher unfair, though the Teachers Service Commission disputes his re-registration.
