Benson Olwade

Benson Olwade is a Nakuru-based activist involved in a legal petition aimed at reforming the electoral system in Kenya. He argues that the current plurality-based voting system undermines democratic representation by allowing candidates to win with a significantly low percentage of votes. Olwade and his fellow petitioners are seeking a court ruling to enforce a higher electoral threshold for public office holders to ensure that elected representatives truly reflect the will of the majority of voters.
