There could be signs of hostility, with President William Ruto and ODM chief Raila Odinga on one side and the legislature on the other, if reports of chaos during the first joint parliamentary meeting between Kenya Kwanza and ODM are anything to go by.
Critics and analysts opine that the sustained onslaught of the legislature by the two leaders could indicate impending changes to House leadership.
On 18 August, MPs and senators from ODM party and Kenya Kwanza Alliance met for a joint parliamentary group meeting headed by President Ruto and Raila. According to multiple reports, the meeting ended abruptly as the MPs disagreed with the two leaders on several issues, including accusations of bribery and the constitutionality of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
