Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion’s tenure at the helm now stands on shaky grounds after his friend-turned-foe Stanley Mutai managed to capture the Kericho branch post and immediately set his eyes on the SGs post.
Mutai, scored 312 votes to beat Sossion s preferred candidate Anne Chepkoech, who garnered 294 votes in the hotly contested election in which Sossion unsuccessfully attempted to determine the office bearers.
The election was held after the Labour and Relations court in Nakuru threw out a suit filed by Sossion which sought to bar Mutai and other branch officials from participating in the election over corruption allegations.
