Another Big Win For Raila As IEBC Bends To His Will To Move The Election Date

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has finally been forced to push the election date ahead after back and forth with both the opposition and government sides.
Through a notice circulated on social media and mainstream media, the Chebukati commission said it had moved the elections date from 17th of October to 26th of October.

This new date is still within the 60 days stipulated in the Constitution and as directed by the Supreme Court of Kenya in its ruling.
Uhuru Kenyatta had earlier indicated that the elections must be held within 60 days and will be held within 60 days.
Senior Counsel James Aggrey Orengo had said that should the commission fail to hold the elections within the 60 days then Uhuru's term would be expired and thus need for a caretaker government.
