In her ruling on Tuesday, Lady Justice Martha Koome who was among the five judge bench, said  the life of current parliament should not be  extended beyond the five year term and the March 4^th election date is unconstitutional.

She said parliament should be dissolved on November 14 this year to pave way for the January election.

Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Gichugu MP Martha Karua have been on the frontline lobbying the government to set election date this December.
