Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has proposed a constitutional referendum during Kenya's 2027 General Election to address long-standing governance issues and allow citizens direct input on key national matters. He believes this dual exercise would resolve constitutional ambiguities and set a precedent in Africa.

• Mudavadi suggests holding the referendum concurrently with the general election to mitigate costs and increase voter turnout, allowing Kenyans to vote on both political leadership and constitutional questions.
• The Prime Cabinet Secretary cited the implementation of the NADCO report as a potential anchor for the referendum, aiming to resolve issues like inclusivity, the position of a substantive Prime Minister, and debates surrounding the Constituency Development Fund and 2/3rds gender rule.
• By combining the general election and a referendum, Mudavadi argues that Kenya can save taxpayers’ money, reduce continuous politicking, and finally resolve issues that Parliament has struggled to handle, preventing recurring post-election disputes.
