No proxy votes will be allowed at the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK) elections for representatives of small scale farmers on Wednesday.

Board’s Acting CEO Peris Mudida had on November 1 written to delegates informing them that they could either vote in person or through proxy votes exercised through nominating another delegate from their block to vote on their behalf through a proxy form.
