A debate has erupted in Kenya regarding the necessity of a referendum before the 2027 general election. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi suggests a referendum is crucial for boundary delimitation, a view strongly opposed by other political figures and the church.

• Caroli Omondi, Chairperson of the National Assembly Constitutional Oversight and Implementation Committee, stated the 2027 general election will proceed as scheduled, dismissing Mudavadi's referendum call as "misplaced."
• Omondi emphasized that Kenyans do not need a referendum to amend the constitution before the next election, advising the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to seek an advisory from the Supreme Court.
• People's Liberation Party Leader Martha Karua and DAP-K Party Leader Eugene Wamalwa also criticized Mudavadi's proposal, calling it suspicious and a distraction from pressing national issues like the high cost of living.
• Various leaders, including Provost of All Saints Cathedral Evans Omollo, highlighted the need to fully implement the 2010 Constitution before considering amendments.
