Court did not declare Azimio majority, UDA insists after Speaker's ruling

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has reaffirmed that the Kenya Kwanza Coalition retains its majority status in the National Assembly.

This comes a day after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula declared that President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza Alliance holds the majority with 165 members against Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition's 154.

Wetang'ula explained that the recent High Court ruling, which quashed his 2022 decision on House leadership, did not provide direction on the current majority or minority status.

Wetang'ula told the House that information from the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, in a letter dated February 11, confirmed that Azimio's membership had diminished after five splinter parties exited and others signed post-election pacts with Kenya Kwanza.
