General elections were held in Kenya in May 1948.
The seats in the Legislative Council were distributed according to a race-based franchise.
Eleven Europeans were elected from single-member constituencies defined as Part A; five Indians (two of which were required to be Muslims) were elected from three Part B constituencies, and one Arab was elected from a single nationwide Part C constituency.
Four Africans and nine Europeans were nominated members.
