[Capital FM] Nairobi -- The High Court has declared that Kenya's next presidential election ought to be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, ruling that the Constitution requires the poll to be conducted on the second Tuesday of August in the fifth year following the previous General Election, and not after the fifth year as currently planned by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
