Francis Atwoli was elected unopposed as COTU secretary general for a fourth 5-year term in elections held in Kisumu.
“Although Atwoli initially wanted to step down, the overwhelming support across various workers unions made it impossible for him to quit active union politics,” said Kuppet Secretary General Akello Misori.
Atwoli succeeded the late Joseph Joy Mugalla in 2001. The giant trade union was founded by Tom Mboya, who was Cotu’s Secretary General for 10 years from 1953 and was succeeded by Peter Kibisu in 1963.
