A petition has been lodged at the Supreme Court seeking to compel the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to hold the next presidential election in August next year and not 2027 as currently scheduled.
The case has been filed by Dr.
Owiso Owiso, Khelef Khalifa, and Ashioya Biko, who argue that the Constitution requires presidential elections to be held within the fifth year following the last general election.
They point to Article 136(2)(a) of the Constitution, which states that a presidential election must be held on the second Tuesday in August in the fifth year.
