A significant shake-up is brewing in the National Assembly, with several committee chairpersons facing potential removal as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) pushes for key leadership positions.
This maneuver is seen as part of a broader strategy to realign Parliament with the current government and signal an impending political alliance between ODM and President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 elections.
Sources within the assembly have revealed that MPs who have diverged from Ruto’s camp, particularly those who opposed or hesitated during the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, may face a “bloodbath.”
This impending purge is expected
to benefit allies of opposition leader Raila Odinga, who are poised
to take control of several strategic committees crucial to implementing Ruto’s legacy plans.
