The fourth year of this general election will thus end on August 7, 2021. A general election being held the second Tuesday in August 2022 will therefore be an election in the sixth year of the general election, a date which the Constitution does not envisage. I would not want to hazard a guess as to the origin of the myth of a general election being held on the second Tuesday of August 2022. The IEBC is mandated to conduct the general election for MPs and it would be interesting to hear from them which Articles of the Constitution they are using to prepare for the general election. If this interpretation of the general election date as herein argued is correct, then a general election in 2022 will remain a myth or there will be a need to change the Constitution.
