The Constitution in Article 136(2)(a) states:
“An election of the President shall be held on the second Tuesday in August in every fifth year.”
2022 is Year 1 (the year of election),
2023 = Year 2,
2024 = Year 3,
2025 = Year 4,
2026 = Year 5 so the second Tuesday of August 2026 is when the election must be held.
Waiting until August 2027 means:
You're starting elections in the 6th year, not the 5th.
You’re effectively adding an unconstitutional extension to the term of office.
That’s a violation of Article 1 (sovereignty of the people) and Article 2(2) (no one can claim or exercise state authority beyond what the Constitution allows).
And here’s the clincher:
If Parliament is dissolved early, elections are held immediately. But even when not dissolved, the Constitution demands elections in the fifth year. Not after. Not beyond.
So if the term began in August 2022, then August 2026 is within the fifth year, and any date beyond that begins to flirt with illegality.
Today in Gem Ramula, Gem Constituency, Siaya County, Safina Party Deputy leader, Willis Otieno, stood on the front lines as a proud advocate for his community. He joined the residents of Ramula during a crucial locus visit (ground hearing) regarding the ongoing case where Shanta Gold is attempting to forcefully evict them from their ancestral lands—disregarding the clear and unanimous dissatisfaction of the community.
True leadership means meeting our people exactly where it pains them most—on the ground, defending their rights, their heritage, and their livelihoods.
