The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has elected Collins Oyuu to be the next Secretary-General of KNUT.

Oyuu takes over from Hon. Wilson Sossion who resigned from the position last week just before the KNUT elections, to pursue his political interests.

He was elected unopposed after serving as the KNUT chairperson.

The union’s election was held on June 26, 2021, at Ruaraka Sports Club in Nairobi.

Apparently, he was the only candidate eyeing the position that was vacated by Sossion.
