He was one of the first and most influential British settlers in Kenya.

Lord Delamere moved to Kenya in 1901 and acquired vast land holdings from the British Crown. Over the years, he became the unofficial 'leader' of the colony's White people in Kenya, European community. He was as famous for his tireless labours to establish a working agricultural economy in East Africa as he was for childish antics among his European friends when he was at his leisure. Early years Delamere left Eton College, Eton at the age of sixteen with the intention of entering the British Army, but gave up his military pursuits after acceding to the title aged seventeen on the death of his father on 1 August 188 ...

Whites In Kenya
White people in Kenya or White Kenyans are those born in or resident in Kenya who descend from Europeans and/or identify themselves as white. Around 0.1% of the population of Kenya is white. There is currently a minor but relatively prominent white community in Kenya, mainly descended from British, but also to a lesser extent Italian and Greek, migrants dating from the colonial period. History The Age of Discovery first led to European interaction with the region of present-day Kenya. The coastal regions were seen as a valuable foothold in eastern trade routes, and Mombasa became a key port for ivory. The Portuguese established a presence in the region for two hundred years between 1498 and 1698, before losing control of the coast to the Sultanate of Oman when Fort Jesus was captured. European exploration of the interior commenced in 1844 when two German missionaries, Johann Ludwig Krapf and Johannes Rebmann, ventured inland with the aim of spreading Christianity. The regi ...

Kenyan General Election, 1927
General elections were held in Kenya Colony on 12 February 1927. Campaign Reports before the election noted that of the eleven white seats, five were uncontested with the incumbent returned unopposed, one was likely to be uncontested and the remaining five would be contested. The Reform Party led by Hugh Cholmondeley issued an 18-point manifesto, which was approved by all the incumbent members of the Legislative Council except Hamilton Ward, who partly adhered to its programme, but reserved the right to vote independently."As Kenya sees things: Manifesto of Lord Delamere's Party", ''East Africa'', 3 February 1927, p597 The manifesto included a call for an elected European majority on the Legislative Council. Reports that the mayor of Nairobi James Riddell would run against the Reform Party proved to be unfounded. Following their boycott of the 1924 elections, the Indian population again failed to participate fully in the election, with only one candidate standing in the fiv ...
