Sugar crop growers will go to the polls on November 24, 2026 to elect five grower representatives to the Kenya Sugar Board, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development has announced.
The Elections Committee chairperson signed the notice on October 30, 2026. It tells the public and growers that voting will proceed under the applicable legal framework and any court orders.
Section 6 of the Sugar Act (No. 11 of 2024) is the legal basis for the exercise. It provides for board membership and for how grower representatives are chosen.
