Kenya's Senate is considering a constitutional amendment bill that would bar former county governors from contesting seats as MPs or MCAs for five years after leaving office. The measure aims to allow accountability processes to conclude without interference. Public hearings are set for April 30 in Nairobi.

A constitutional amendment bill in Nigeria proposes creating 182 new seats reserved for women in federal and state legislatures to address gender imbalance in politics. Sponsored by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, the measure faces resistance from the Senate, which suggests far fewer seats. If passed, it would temporarily expand parliamentary bodies for 16 years.
