This paper considers the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Kumaraswamy distribution centered on progressive type II hybrid censoring scheme using the expectation maximization algorithm. Kumaraswamy distribution remains of keen consideration in disciplines such as economics, hydrology and survival analysis. To compare the performance of the attained maximum likelihood estimators of Kumaraswamy distribution expectation maximization algorithms is utilized as it is a convenient mechanism in manipulating incomplete data. The presentation of the maximum likelihood estimators via an expectation maximization algorithm is compared using three different amalgamations of censoring schemes. Simulation is utilized to contrast both precision and efficiency. The simulation outcome indicates that there is no notable estimation difference for the three censoring schemes. It also noted that an expectation maximization algorithm has a relatively efficient estimation aimed at Kumaraswamy distribution in progressive type II hybrid censoring scheme. Eventually, an illustration with real life data set is provided and it illustrates how maximum likelihood estimators works in practice under different censoring schemes. It is apparent from the observations made that the estimated values in scheme one is lesser than the other remaining two censoring schemes. It is greater in scheme three than scheme one and scheme two whenever, the three schemes are compared.
