President Uhuru Kenyatta will be celebrating his 56th birthday on the day a repeat presidential election will be held.
He was born on October 26th, 1961.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Thursday evening pushed the election date from October 17 to October 26, 2017.
In a statement, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said the commission needed more time to prepare for the election.
The repeat election was occasioned by the nullification of the August 8 presidential results.
Uhuru, who will be celebrating his birthday on October 26, will face National Super Alliance (Nasa) presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
Raila moved to the supreme court to petition Uhuru's victory.
The court ruled that the IEBC did not conduct the election according to the provisions in the constitution and elections act.
