MPs could by August vote to slash their numbers from the current 412 to 147 as well as alter the President’s term from the current two five-year terms to a single seven-year term.

This is after the Thirdway Alliance submitted the Punguza Mzigo (Constitution of Kenya Amendment Bill, 2019) alongside 1.4 million signatures to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
