Parliament Advances Electoral Reforms and Constitutional Amendments - October 2025

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula announced that Parliament will fast-track electoral law amendments to ensure the IEBC is ready for the 2027 General Election and to bolster public trust. At the same time, the Kenyan Senate is considering a new Constitutional Amendment Bill (No. 2 of 2025). This bill aims to achieve the two-thirds gender principle in both the Senate and National Assembly through the nomination of additional special-seat members. This comes as Members of Parliament are defending President William Ruto's signing of eight controversial bills into law on October 15, with Nandi Hills MP Bernard Kitur stating the President's actions adhered to constitutional requirements.
