Kakamega and Mombasa counties are set to elect their governors on 29th August following an agreement reached in a consultative meeting between IEBC and the candidates.
According to the law, newly elected governors are to be sworn in 10 days after the election.
The oath takes place not earlier than 10.00 am and not later than 2.00 pm in a public ceremony before a High Court Judge.
The swearing-in of governors cannot be stopped by a court petition like the president-elect who awaits the court judgment before assuming office.
