Hi @hjweddie - it looks like the elect leaders API is used to implement leader election in the Java client. Unfortunately this API is not currently implemented by Sarama. So to answer you question: no this is not currently possible with Sarama.

If you would like to contribute an implementation of the elect leaders API - I'm sure it would be gratefully received. 😄
