Kenya court rules elections to take place March 2013

Published Updated

The government had proposed delaying the vote by four months to December because of logistical problems, a move which prompted petitions to the court to make a ruling on the date. The court ruled the current parliament should be allowed to run its term, with elections held 60 days later.

The constitution, endorsed by a referendum in 2010, had set the east African country's presidential and parliamentary elections for Aug. 14.
