United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Members of Parliament, including Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah, have moved to court seeking to suspend the implementation of the High Court's decision, which ruled that the Azimio la Umoja Coalition is the majority party in Parliament.
In a petition filed before the Court of Appeal on Wednesday, Ichung'wah was supported by fellow ruling party MPs, including Owen Baya, Sylvanus Osoro, and Naomi Wako.
The legislators argued that if the petition is not stayed, it will cripple the operations of the National Assembly, hindering its ability to fulfil its constitutional mandate. "The applicants hold leadership positions reserved for the majority party in the National Assembly, which are key and crucial.
Therefore, without majority leadership, the operations of the National Assembly will be effectively halted, critically affecting the functioning of the House," read part of the MPs' court papers.
