This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

The 2005 Kenyan constitutional referendum occured on 21 November 2005 and was voted down by a 57% majority of Kenyan voters, with 3,548,477 people voting against a new constitution. Many government officials including President Mwai Kibaki campaigned for a 'Yes' vote on the constitution, which divided the ruling National Rainbow Coalition into camps, for and against the proposal. Due to the high number of illiterate voters in Kenya, votes are typically cast using symbols rather than text to indicate a preferred candidate. Thus, those who supported the constitution adopted the symbol of the banana, while the opposition utilized the orange as their means of representation. The referendum has divided Kenyans and spurred violence between Orange and Banana supporters; nine people were killed prior to voting, but the process itself has allegedly been peaceful.

Political Fallout

After voters rejected a draft constitution, President Mwai Kibaki dismissed his entire cabinet and deputy ministers, moving quickly to reassert his political authority. (BBC), (Reuters) Mwai Kibaki during an official state visit to the United States Mwai Kibaki (born November 15, 1931) is Kenyas third president, an economist, and a political leader. ...

Of his decision Kibaki said,“Following the results of the Referendum, it has become necessary for me, as the President of the Republic, to re-organise my Government to make it more cohesive and better able to serve the people of Kenya".

Although the dismissal of individual officials is commonplace in government, the dissolution of the cabinet in its entirity is rare. The only member of the cabinet office to be spared a midterm exit was the Attorney General whose position is constitutionally protected against Kibaki's presidential powers. Vice President Moody Awori retained his post, however, he has been deprived of his position as Minister of Home Affairs. The dismissal of the cabinet follows a seven month period in which its members never actually met formally, instead preferring to play political games with one another through the media. The cabinet has been increasingly divided for an extended period of time, the issue of the constitution has created further fracturing. Because the National Rainbow Coalition is a grouping of several smaller parties (Democratic Party, Forum for the Restoration of Democracy-Kenya, Liberal Democratic Party, National Party of Kenya), members of the Kibaki government maintain differing agendas and loyalities, often maintaining more loyalty to their party than to the Coalition. Corruption charges and investigations into the affairs of the cabinet had gone undisciplined by the president (more information can be found on the Mwai Kibaki page), who had been criticized for not reeling in his officials. In most common law jurisdictions, the Attorney General is the main legal adviser to the government, and in some jurisdictions may in addition have executive responsibility for law enforcement or responsibility for public prosecutions. ...
