Kenya Kwanza is the majority in Parliament, according to a ruling by Moses Wetang’ula, the speaker of the National Assembly.
This comes after a discussion about the National Assembly’s majority and minority positions.
According to the Speaker, Kenya Kwanza has 165 members in the August House, compared to 154 in Azimio.
As a result of the aforementioned, the Azimio are the minority and the Kenya Kwanza are the majority. “The House Leadership has not changed,” the Speaker said.
Wetang’ula claimed that neither the majority nor the minority leader was identified by the court, nor did it identify any party as such.
Speaker Moses Wetang’ula was criticized by a High Court ruling on February 7 for designating Kenya Kwanza as the majority side.
Jubilee, ODM, Wiper Democratic Movement, Kanu, National Rainbow Coalition, Muungano Party, Democratic Action Party, Democratic Action Party Kenya, United Party of Independent Alliance, United Progressive Alliance, Kenya Union Party, United Democratic Party, Movement for Democracy and Growth, Kenya Reformed Party, Chama Cha Uzalendo, and many more are among the 21 parties that make up Azimio, which was registered in April 2022, the speaker said.
According to him, Kenya Kwanza was officially registered on June 3, 2022, and was made up of eleven political parties, including the Farmers Party, Amani National Congress, UDA, Forum for Restoration of Democracy Kenya, Chama Cha Kazi, and Communist Party.
According to the speaker, on September 5, 2022, Kenya Kwanza and four other parties signed a coalition agreement following the election.
Moses Wetang’ula, the speaker of the National Assembly, declared the Kenya Kwanza Alliance to be the majority coalition on October 6, 2022.
The Azimio La Umoja Coalition Party lost 14 Members of Parliament to the ruling coalition, which tipped the scales in favor of Kenya Kwanza and gave it the ability to claim majority status. However, Wetang’ula was later found to have violated the Constitution in making the decision by a three-judge panel of the High Court.
The court overturned the ruling that Kenya Kwanza was the majority party and found that the Speaker lacked a valid reason for the reassignments.
