Delegates from across the country unanimously endorsed the current leadership, citing strong and effective representation of special needs educators.

The election outcome reflects widespread satisfaction with the officials’ performance.

Rebecca Kosgei, the returning officer for Narok county, said the re-election was a result of the leaders’ outstanding work in championing the rights and welfare of special needs educators.

“Members expressed confidence in the leadership’s ability to continue advocating for their interests at both national and institutional levels,” she said.

The re-elected team is led by General Secretary James Torome and chairman Amos Mungai Karanja.

Torome thanked members for the renewed mandate and pledged to continue with diligent service.

“Our focus has always been on advocating for the rights, welfare, and professional recognition of special needs educators, and we remain committed to this cause,” Torome said.

He added that during the previous term, the union engaged stakeholders to push for better working conditions, improved service delivery, and enhanced support systems for educators working with learners with special needs.

The leadership promised to intensify efforts to ensure educators are fully supported, noting their critical role in promoting inclusive education.

The delegates expressed optimism that continuity in leadership would sustain ongoing initiatives and strengthen the union’s voice in national education discourse.

Torome emphasised the need for government and stakeholders to invest more in special needs education, including expansion of facilities and capacity building for teachers.

“As a union, we will continue focusing on strengthening the capacity of our members to enhance special needs education in the country,” he said.
