The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has expressed strong opposition to a proposed bill that seeks to extend the presidential term limit from the current five years to seven years. UDA has termed the proposal as “backward, retrogressive, and primitive.” The party views the bill as undermining democratic principles and disregarding the importance of regular electoral cycles. Such a move, if passed, would likely stir political tensions, as it would extend the president’s stay in power, potentially altering the democratic balance in Kenya. UDA’s rejection aligns with broader concerns about governance and the preservation of democratic institutions in the country.
