[PHOTOS] Lawyers stream in to cast votes as election nears conclusion

Voting time for the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) elections is almost coming to an end as lawyers continue to cast their votes.

The elections are ongoing across the country, where members will choose their representatives for the next two years. 

Lawyers have cast their votes across 36 centres in the country, and the winner will be announced after vote tallying at LSK headquarters in Gatanga Road, Nairobi. 

The polling stations were opened at 8 am and the exercise is expected to close at 5 pm.

Vice president and gender representative are also among the positions that will be filled. 

The race for the presidency is between five candidates: Peter Wanyama, Carolyne Kamende, Faith Odhiambo, Harriet Mboche and Kipkoech Bernhard Ngetich

Odhiambo and Kamende are vying to become the second female president of the LSK.

The LSK presidency, with a non-renewable two-year term, holds a critical role in steering the society's direction.
