The Centre for Public Policy and Research (CPPR) has filed a judicial review application in the Kerugoya High Court challenging the re-election of Francis Atwoli as the Secretary-General of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu).

• The application seeks to overturn Atwoli's re-election for a sixth consecutive term, which occurred on March 14.
• Key respondents include Cotu, the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, the Registrar of trade unions, and the Attorney-General.
• CPPR alleges the election violated statutory electoral frameworks and disregarded timelines set by the Registrar of trade unions, asserting that branch and national elections should precede the election of national leaders.
