Elections to pick new Dock Workers Union (DWU) officials have been cancelled after the registrar of trade unions said the election board was illegally in office.

The registrar, E. N. Gicheha, in a letter dated May 12 to DWU General Secretary Simon Sang, said a new board must be constituted to oversee the polls.
