In 2022, President Ruto said he was not interested in the move to amend the constitution to scrap the term limit saying it was selfish.
Ruto who was speaking during a Kenya Kwanza Parliamentary Group meeting told MPs to focus on the needs of the people instead of discussing the presidential term limit.
"Do not spend your time pushing for selfish and self-serving legislation like the changing of the constitution to remove term limits. My focus is service to the people," said Ruto.
In September 2023 Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei proposed the presidential term limit to be extended to seven years but the proposal was dismissed by the ruling UDA Party.
"The UDA Party respects and upholds the Senator's personal views but particularly on the referenced subject, those views do not reflect the perspectives of the UDA Party and/or its Party Leader, President William Ruto," UDA stated.
