Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has rejected a proposal by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi for a "seventh ballot", a constitutional referendum to be held alongside the 2027 General Election. Duale stated that such a move risks “creating unnecessary uncertainty” and that existing legal and parliamentary procedures are sufficient to address current national issues.

• Mudavadi advocates for a referendum to resolve long-standing constitutional issues, including boundary reviews, gender representation, and entrenchment of development funds.
• Duale argues that not every issue qualifies for a referendum and that Kenya currently lacks a comprehensive legal framework for conducting one.
• Retired Chief Justice David Maraga accused the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) government of plotting to scrap presidential term limits to extend President William Ruto's rule.
