Kenyan activist Francis Awino filed a High Court petition on Thursday challenging Francis Atwoli's unopposed re-election as COTU-K secretary general for a sixth term, extending his 32-year leadership until 2031. Awino argues the March 14 vote at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu violated COTU's constitution and constitutional rights to information, fair labor relations, and administrative action, after his requests for membership registers and financial records were ignored. This is at least the seventh legal challenge, amid COTU's dismissal of prior suits as baseless and calls for greater transparency in union governance.
