Kenya does now as of 2011. A constitutional change back in the 1960s outlawed dual citizenship for adults (upon coming of age they had to renounce other citizenships or lose their Kenyan) but more recent changes have undone this. However regaining citizenship lost in those years is an active process. Timrollpickering 17:23, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've expanded on that with a reference to the High Commission. --Scott Davis ^Talk 22:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When does Gichuhi's term actually start? The AEC is currently saying that the declaration is a matter before the courts and she's not showing up on the APH website yet. It would normally be the date of the countback and that's what seems to have happened with Georgiou, but I'm not sure here as I can't find any confirmation that her term has begun.

New Daily says she'll be sworn in on 9 May, but that the High Court will rule on her eligibility next week. My guess would be they'll retroactively date the term from the countback when she's sworn in assuming that the High Court upholds her eligibility, but worth waiting and seeing.

Now on the APH website: "Declared elected 19.4.2016 as a Senator for South Australia by the High Court of Australia (vice R Day, disqualified under section 44 (v) of the Constitution, 26.2.2017) (term deemed to have begun 1.7.2016)." --Canley (talk) 10:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting... it no longer says this – it now says: "Declared elected 19.4.2017 as a Senator for South Australia by the High Court of Australia (vice R Day, disqualified under section 44 (v) of the Constitution, 26.2.2017) (term begun 19.4.2017)." --Canley (talk) 03:22, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I changed the "Election" section and mentioned this in the ref. The profile gives no explanation, nor would I expect it to. Wikiain (talk) 03:53, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
