Kenya's next general election will be held on Monday March, 4 2013. This will be the first poll since the adoption of the new constitution. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced the date on Saturday at a  press conference held in Laico Regency.

IEBC Chairman Isaack Hassan said his commission had been forced to set the date for the election after the two principals President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga failed to agree on an appropriate date.
