The Diaspora Bicameral Parliamentary Framework (DBPF) caucus is now pushing for the introduction of 15 diaspora constituencies through implementation of the long overdue boundaries review and delimitation exercise.

To ensure equality of the vote and full inclusion of all Kenyan citizens in the 2027 general elections, the caucus has called for the fast tracking of the exercise to put an end the “disenfranchisement of diaspora voters” who are mostly required to travel back to Kenya to vote.
