This follows an application by one of the contestants who was allegedly denied an opportunity to vie as national council member.
High Court Judge Weldon Korir said the application by Frank Ochieng Walikwe should be heard before the elections take place, saying that IEBC should not print the ballot papers until a determination is made by the court.
The court directed that the application be served upon LSK and IEBC and the matter be heard inter-partes on Wednesday.
The applicant through lawyer Okongo Omogeni told the court that he was denied the opportunity to participate in the elections on the simple reason that he was not eligible.
Omogeni said that at the hearing of the judicial review application, he will be seeking to quash the decision of LSK to refuse to the enter name of the applicant as one of the contestants.
The court will also be asked to prohibit LSK and IEBC from excluding the name applicant from the ballot papers.
