Kenya Editors Guild failed to hold elections during its annual general meeting because not enough members showed up. The returning officer explained that, according to the rules, two-thirds of the membership needed to be present. Officials postponed both the meeting and elections when they fell short of this requirement. The executive council plans to announce a new date within the next month. They must follow legal requirements before proceeding.

The presidential race featured well-known journalists Zubeidah Kananu and Yvonne Okwara competing for leadership. Current president Kananu hoped to keep her job as the first woman ever elected to this position. Many media professionals watched this contest with great interest. Several candidates won positions without opposition. Francis Openda became vice president automatically since nobody ran against him.

Three council members—Linda Bach, Kenfrey Kiberenge, and Millicent Awuor—secured spots representing print, online, and television media. Radio positions remained contested between Toepista Nabusoba and Agnes Mwangangi. Nathan Masambu and Julius Bosire competed for academia seats. Martin Masai, Ruth Nesoba, and Mbugua Ng'ang'a earned trustee roles. Election rules confirmed that all unopposed candidates had already won their positions.
