The push by county chiefs for a referendum was dealt a blow after governors allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) announced they had abandoned the mission.

Succumbing to pressure from the President, seven TNA governors opted out of the push to amend the Constitution through a referendum vote and instead said they would seek alternative ways to have their demands addressed.
