In a closely contested battle for the Male Representative to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) seat, outgoing Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president, Eric Theuri, has conceded defeat to Nairobi-based lawyer Omwanza Ombati. The election, which took place on Thursday, February 29, saw Ombati emerging victorious with a narrow margin of 65 votes over Theuri.

The final vote tally revealed Ombati securing 3,357 votes, while Theuri trailed closely behind with 3,292 votes. Competing alongside them were Ishmael Nyaribo and Professor Mwabile, who managed to garner 95 and 629 votes respectively.

The loss marks the end of Theuri’s bid to become the Fourth LSK Male Representative to the Judicial Service Commission, after serving as the 50th LSK president from 2022 to 2024. Throughout his campaign, Theuri emphasized a three-point agenda, focusing on providing Effective and Responsive Representation, safeguarding Judicial Independence, and enhancing Accountability while championing Judicial transformation.

The role of the JSC representative holds immense significance, as it involves crucial responsibilities in disciplining and appointing both Judges and Magistrates, thereby influencing the course of the legal landscape in Kenya.

Simultaneously, the LSK presidential elections unfolded, resulting in Faith Mony Odhiambo securing victory with 3,040 votes. Peter Wanyama and Carolyne Kamende trailed behind, obtaining 2,122 and 910 votes respectively. Odhiambo, who previously served as the LSK Vice President since 2022 and currently practices as a partner at Ombok & Owuor Advocates LLP, is poised to assume the presidency, succeeding Theuri, whose tenure officially ended on March 25.

Former LSK President Nelson Havi extended congratulations to Odhiambo, urging her to serve with distinction and emphasizing the importance of integrity and ethical conduct in her new role. He reminded her that the journey of leadership is marked by challenges and requires an unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of justice and fairness.

As Omwanza Ombati prepares to take on the responsibilities of the Male Representative to the JSC seat, and Faith Mony Odhiambo gears up to lead the LSK, the legal community in Kenya anticipates a period of transition and renewal, characterized by a commitment to upholding the rule of law and advancing the interests of justice.
