A section of MPs believed to have the blessings of the Executive are plotting to postpone next year’s general election, a move sure to trigger political fireworks. This means if a general election is coming and it is still within that time frame, then no law has been violated. "Kioni and his team can try anything else but postponing of the general election, whether through the BBI or whatever it is, will never happen. The next general election will take place on August 9, 2022," the former General Assembly majority leader said. Also in the cards by the proponents of election postponement is the question of IEBC preparedness — or lack of it — for the upcoming election, owing to the vacant commissioner posts.
