Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has said that Azimio will take further action after the speaker of the national assembly declared Kenya Kwanza the majority majority in Parliament.
The Speaker said that Azimio has 154 Members of Parliament while Kenya Kwanza has 165 in the August House.
"Arising from the foregoing, the Kenya Kwanza is the majority and the Azimio is the minority. The Leadership of the House remains unchanged," the Speaker stated.
Odhiambo said that she disagrees with the speaker’s ruling adding that as Azimio, they follow the rule of law.
“As Azimio, we are adherence to the rule of law and to those who are dear to the rule of law. As Azimio very respectfully disagrees with your communication, “she said.
“As Azimio we’re going to take further action.”
Azimio MPs stage walkout after Wetang'ula declared Kenya Kwanza Majority side.
Wetang’ula said the court did not declare any party as the majority or minority and neither did it declare the leader of the majority or minority.
ODM secretary General Edwin Sifuna reacted to the ruling saying that the court’s decision was based on the 2022 general election voter.
“The Court was clear that the Majority/Minority was determined by the voter on 9th August 2022. What happened and what is happening now is nothing short of stealing the will of the people,” he said.
On February 7, a High Court ruling faulted Speaker Moses Wetang’ula for declaring Kenya Kwanza the majority side.
According to Wetang'ula, Azimio was registered in April 2022 and comprises 21 parties including 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 among many others.
He said that Kenya Kwanza was registered on June 3, 2022, and comprised 11 political parties including UDA, Amani National Congress, Forum for Restoration of Democracy Kenya, Chama Cha Kazi, Communist Party and Farmers Party among others.
On October 6, 2022, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula ruled that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance was the majority coalition.
