By Porcupine Isaac Wanjekeche<\/strong><\/p>\n

Campaigns for the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) elections have intensified in Western Kenya as candidates step up engagements with advocates ahead of the February polls.<\/p>\n

Leading contenders Peter Wanyama and Senior Counsel Charles Kanjama have in recent days toured the region, meeting local bar associations to outline their bids for the Society\u2019s top office.<\/p>\n

In Bungoma, Wanyama attended a meeting of the Bukusu Lawyers Association at Hunters Hotel, where advocates from across the county gathered. The engagement formed part of his wider regional outreach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Wanyama invited Kanjama to address the forum. Kanjama briefly outlined his candidature for the LSK presidency.<\/p>\n

In his address, Wanyama called for greater unity among lawyers in Western Kenya, saying a coordinated regional approach would strengthen their influence within the Law Society and at the national level.<\/p>\n

Wanyama has also held similar engagements with members of the Kabras Lawyers Association in Kakamega County as part of his campaign.<\/p>\n

The February election marks Wanyama\u2019s second attempt at the LSK presidency, following his narrow loss to incumbent Faith Odhiambo in the previous polls.<\/p>\n

Campaign activities are expected to intensify further as candidates continue nationwide outreach in the lead-up to the election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
