The seven-judge bench is set to start hearing the case on Tuesday, June 29, 2021.
Early this month, President Kenyatta, Raila, the Office of the Attorney General, and IEBC filed a separate appeal contesting various parts of a High Court decision that termed BBI unconstitutional.
The appellants want the Court of Appeal to find that the High Court erred in tis decision and reverse the ruling. As it stands, the BBI process has been put on hold, until the case is heard and determined.
This means that the referendum that was being planned for June or July this year cannot happen as its proponents were hoping for.
