Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has thanked Azimio leader Raila Odinga for picking him as leader of the Minority side in the National Assembly.
Junet affirmed that under his leadership, their movement will emerge victorious.
"I thank my Party Leader the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga and @TheODMparty, for trusting and proposing me to lead the Minority Coalition in the National Assembly at this pivotal moment. Our movement will triumph," he said.
His remarks came after Raila's party settled on the Suna East MP as the leader of the Minority.
Junet, who is serving his third term, will be replacing outgoing Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi who has been nominated to head the Energy and Petroleum docket in President William Ruto’s broad-based government.
The Suna East lawmaker is currently the Minority Whip, a position he has held since the last Parliament.
Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo will be succeeding Junet as the Minority Whip in changes announced after the ODM Central Management Committee meeting chaired by Raila.
In the changes read by party secretary general Edwin Sifuna, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi will be the chairman of the powerful Public Accounts Committee.
Amisi, a second-term lawmaker, takes over from nominated MP John Mbadi who has been nominated to head the National Treasury.
Speaking after the appointment, Amisi said it was a testament to the confidence Raila has in his leadership.
He also termed it a win for the people of Saboti Constituency, whom he represents.
"This appointment is a testament to the confidence you have placed in me, and I assure you that I will carry out my duties with utmost dedication and integrity.
"I am committed to upholding the values of transparency and accountability as we work together to strengthen our nation's governance. Thank you for this incredible opportunity."
Funyula MP Wilberforce Oundo has been moved to the Public Investment Committee on Agriculture as the vice chairperson.
The positions were ringfenced for ODM in the negotiations that followed the 2022 general elections.
The party officially released the ODM leaders nominated to the Cabinet, who also tendered their resignation during the day-long meeting.
