TheReform Party was a political party inKenya led byLord Delamere.
The party was established by Lord Delamere on 24 May 1921,[1] following the resignation of several members of theLegislative Council who hadbeen elected the previous year. Delamere had resigned in 1920 due to his unhappiness with the Secretary of State, and was followed out of the Council by several other members in May 1921.[2] The formation of the party was primarily aimed at ensuring more power forEuropeans, reducing government spending rather than raising taxes and giving elected members a forum to hold discussions outside the Council.[2] When by-elections were held for the four vacant seats, three of them were won by Reform Party members,[2] including Delamere.
In the1927 general elections the party won eight of the eleven European seats on the Legislative Council.
