It is the national polls of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem), one of the main faith-based umbrella organisations in the country. The road leading to Supkem's much-delayed national polls has been rocky as a section of current office holders have mounted spirited resistance, including sponsoring court cases, to extend their stay in office. In the recent years, the influence and impact of Supkem has waned significantly not only within the Muslim community but also on the national stage. Its leadership has not played a meaningful and constructive role in the national dialogue on political, economic and social matters facing the country.
