Central Organisation for Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli maintains that President Uhuru Kenyatta will not retire in 2022.
Constitutionally, Uhuru is set to retire in 2022 having served two terms of five years. He was first elected in 2013.
There have been calls to have Uhuru to stay a little bit longer, a move that has rattled a section of politicians.
But Mr Atwoli insisted on Saturday that the Head of State will not retire, adding that he has no doubt about his prediction.
“In 2017 during the Labour Day celebrations, I said we must change the Constitution. I said Uhuru Kenyatta will not retire and I can confirm to you that this statement still stands,” he said as quoted by Standard.
Mr Atwoli has been leading calls for having the president contesting for Prime Minister (PM) post, although he adds that the BBI team should have recommended a powerful PM seat.
In October, President Uhuru Kenyatta who commissioned Suswa SGR insisted that he would exit the scene when the time comes.
"I will go home when that time comes. I have no interest in staying around and that is a promise. I am not interested in creating a position for myself," he said, defending the BBI team.
Deputy President William Ruto is keen to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, a move that has put him at loggerheads with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
