A new legislative proposal, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aims to establish special seats in both the National Assembly and Senate to uphold the two-thirds gender rule. Sponsored by Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Shollei, Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi, and Laikipia Woman Representative Jane Kagiri, these seats would be allocated to political parties proportionally after elections.

• The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) would ensure parties submit lists alternating between male and female candidates, reflecting regional and ethnic diversity.
• As a Money Bill, it will trigger public expenditure.
• The Bill requires support from at least two-thirds of members in both houses of Parliament for passage.
• If passed, these special seats would last for 25 years, with a potential ten-year extension.
