Dr. Aukot who lost in the 2018 August Presidential Election and in the repeat presidential election declared his push for constitutional reform. Dr. Ekuru Aukot even started the campaign to support the call for constitutional reform by collecting signatures from different counties to enable the campaign to be successful.

The leader of the Third way Alliance agreed to participate in the repeat presidential election after the court nullified the August 8th election which it was termed as irregular. Although the NASA refused to participate in the elections President Uhuru Kenyatta scooped it easily against Aukot.
Aukot started to voice out his acceptance for the results and promised to form an opposition to the government.
Since that time the leader has been undercover which swept away the numerous support he had started gaining for himself.

Dr. Ekuru Aukot emerged again with the push for a referendum. This after Former Prime minister , Raila Odinga started pushing for the debate. This comes after most Kenyans were questioning which form of Opposition he is offering .
Although the leader justifies this with the few numbers he has in both National Assembly and the house of Senate, the leader has been silent for quite a while.
The call for referendum was first brought forth by Raila who he accused that he should move out of national politics. Raila wants the country to adopt the 3 tier form of government and abolish some the positions in the current constitution.
The push for referendum by Raila is meant to reduce the burden for the mwananchi , to reduce the wage bill. Ekuru Aukot in his agenda for constitutional amendment almost has the same slogan as Raila Odinga. Aukot wants the burden of the citizens to be reduced.
Aukot joins other leaders such as the Deputy President,William Ruto who has the same call for referendum with similar aim of reducing the burden. Ruto at first was against this call but he announced his support for the constitutional amendment as long as it reduces the burden of living of the normal citizens.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has remained silent about this matter as several others leader expressed their support including many governors. Mwangi Wa Iria of Murang’a and Wycliffe Oparanya of Kakamega being on the forefront.
Mudavadi and Kalonzo have also expressed their support for this agenda.
back to Ekuru Aukot, most political decisions concerned never come from him. Most of times he pegs on other people to break it first before he can show his concern.
This started during the campaigns for the Presidential position which he never stood and shared his position as an individual or as a party. The issue of IEBC not being fit Aukot depended on the call by NASA and capitalised on that to argue his agreement.
The nullification of the presidential election also , Ekuru conceded defeat before he changed his mind and support for the repeat election also joined in the case challenging the results of the presidential challenge as a third party.
Ekuru Aukot late involvement and raising the flag late has raised many eyebrows if he is a political hang-on . Whether he depends on other leaders as his smoke gun, before he capitalizes on their stand to also express his side.
