A High Court ruling has declared August 11, 2026, as the date for Kenya's next General Election, leading to calls for President William Ruto to respect the Constitution.

• The court affirmed that presidential elections must be held on the second Tuesday of August every fifth year, placing the next election on August 11, 2026.
• Safina Party Leader Jimi Wanjigi and lawyer Willis Otieno are urging President Ruto and State institutions to adhere to the constitutional timeline.
• Wanjigi argued that after the constitutionally prescribed election date passes, President Ruto would become a temporary incumbent with restricted powers, unable to make certain appointments.
