Amin Walji was Kenyan Asian politician who was elected as the (KANU) representative for the Westlands Constituency in the Kenyan general election, 1992, the first multi-party elections since independence in 1963.

The Westlands Constituency was a marginal seat, and Walji challenged the incumbent Njoroge Mungai for the KANU by nomination.[1] There were claims that Mungai had won the first ballots, but concern over irregularities in the nomination process led to the nomination process being carried out three times, with a third candidate dropping out complaining that non-resident voters were being imported to rig the nominations.[1]

He died in 1996.
