The High Court has struck out a petition by Kenya Reinsurance Corporation (Kenya Re) minority shareholders seeking to overturn the election of directors at the company's annual general meeting that was held on June 19, 2026.

The court upheld Kenya Re’s preliminary objection against the suit, finding that the dispute concerned the company’s Articles of Association and shareholder rights, rather than a constitutional matter.
