General elections were held in East Africa Protectorate (modern Kenya) in March and April 1920, the first elections in the country.^[1] The Legislative Council had previously consisted entirely of appointed members. The new Council consisted of 11 elected white members, two appointed members representing the Indian population and one appointed member representing the Arab population, as well as a number of appointees by the Governor.^[1] This allowed the Council representative, although not responsible government.^[1] The territory became Kenya Colony on 23 July.
