Is President Ruto’s Party Scheming To Remove Term Limits?

Should the plan materialize, Ruto could rule the country  for 20 years, and handover power in 2042 when he will be 75.

A UDA lawmaker has revealed plans to seek the scrapping of the presidential term limit, noting that the cap should be on age, not period of service.

While granular details of the talks remain scanty, Fafi Member of Parliament Salah Yakub, spilled the beans, of the looming push for constitutional review.

We want to tell Kenyans that the limit on two terms should be relooked. We want it to be changed to an age limit where one gets to 75 years then he or she cannot contest

Fafi MP Salah Yakubu

Mr Yakub, who said there have been closed-door discussions on the proposal, however refused to divulge the names of the MPs behind the new development or whether it has the blessing of the UDA party top brass.

Should the plan materialize, Ruto could rule the country  for 20 years, and handover power in 2042 when he will be 75. However, Kenya’s 5th President has made no mention of clinging to power beyond the constitutional limit.

Yakub added that the constitutional change Bill was still far from maturity as it was yet to be drafted and sent to Parliament.

Following the abolition of section 2A of the previous constitution, the two-term restriction was effected prior to the 1992 elections. The presidential term limit was retained under the 2010 Constitution.

With barely three months after a fiercely contested presidential election, Kenyans are questioning the motive of such a plot, and wondering if constitutional amendment to extend the rule of a sitting president is a priority.

What Other Leaders Said About Increasing Term Limit

This move is STUPID! It does not enjoy the signature or the nod of President @WilliamsRuto – I oppose! pic.twitter.com/j9gmMShiMm

NEWS JUST IN: Fafi MP Salah Yakub says UDA MPs are currently working on a constitutional amendment Bill to change the Constitution to scrap the two-term presidential limit. Mapema ndio best.

— Gabriel Oguda (@gabrieloguda) November 8, 2022

Remarks by Fafi MP Salah Yakub that there are plans to extend term limits for the President are a product of a fertile imagination by the legislator. UDA distances itself from the utterances by the MP.

Let's pretend that we didn't know that a chameleon changes its colors. UDA is sailing towards Bermuda triangle. This will affect them more that anyone else. Let President Ruto have his 1 or 2 terms and go. Unless of course you want to have President Uhuru in 2027(Guaranteed). pic.twitter.com/rmLCKOnvTR

2/2 to categorically state that Hon. Yakub's made a personal statement which has nothing to do with @UDAKenya. As a Party, we stand for open Democracy and we remain supportive of the two-term presidential limit and no ongoing discussions to scrap it.

— Johnson Muthama (@nduyamuthama) November 8, 2022

Chairman, tell Yakub and those testing the will of Kenyans to stop their exuberant hallucinations and focus on providing services to the people. https://t.co/kbEDSfF2pN
