    The Luhya People as Abaluyia or Luyia

    July 11, 2024 /

    The Luhya, also known as Abaluyia or Luyia, are a Bantu ethnic group native to western Kenya and parts of Uganda.

With a population of over 2.7 million, the Abagusii predominantly inhabit Kisii and Nyamira counties, as well as portions of Kericho and Bomet counties, historically situated within the Nyanza and Rift Valley provinces.
