The religious leaders said that since the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was declared illegal by the High Court, it is impossible to hold a referendum in August.
The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has recommended that the 2022 General Election be held under the current Constitution.
"The elections should proceed as provided for in the Constitution and should not be postponed to a later date," KCCB said in a statement following a meeting at the Subukia Shrine in Nakuru County on Friday.
