Born in St. Peters, Richmond County, Nova Scotia, the son of John and Elizabeth (Robertson), Kyte was educated in public schools in St. Peter's and St. Francis Xavier University.

He resigned in 1908 to contest the electoral district of Richmond in the 1908 federal election as a Liberal candidate and was elected. He was re-elected in the 1911 election. He was defeated in 1917 in the riding of Cape Breton South and Richmond. He was elected in the 1921 election and was defeated in the 1925 election for the electoral district of Richmond—West Cape Breton. He was Chief Government Whip from 1922 to 1925.
