Wetangula Insists Kenya Kwanza’s Majority Status Despite Court Ruling

Wetangula Insists Kenya Kwanza Is the Majority Despite Court Ruling

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has declared that Kenya Kwanza remains the majority coalition in Parliament, while Azimio continues as the minority, going against a recent High Court ruling that suggested otherwise.

Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, February 12, Wetangula defended his position by outlining several reasons why he believed the court ruling was flawed.

He made it clear that the leadership structure in the House would not change despite the court’s decision.

According to the Speaker’s ruling, Kenya Kwanza holds the majority with 165 Members of Parliament (MPs), while Azimio remains the minority with 154 MPs.

“Based on these facts, Kenya Kwanza is the majority coalition, and Azimio is the minority. The leadership of the House remains unchanged,” Wetangula stated firmly.

Azimio Leaders Walk Out in Protest

His declaration sparked immediate outrage among Azimio-allied MPs, leading to a dramatic walkout from the chamber.

The protest was led by Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo, who openly rejected Wetangula’s ruling and vowed to take further legal action to challenge the decision.

“As Azimio, we strongly and respectfully disagree with your ruling. We are not going to let this matter rest—we will pursue further action,” Odhiambo asserted.

The parliamentary session quickly descended into chaos, with Azimio lawmakers raising objections and insisting that they were, in fact, the rightful majority. Wetangula struggled to maintain order as the heated exchange continued.

Wetangula Challenges Court Ruling

Despite the resistance, Wetangula stood by his decision, arguing that the court ruling, issued less than a week ago, had significant legal and factual inconsistencies. He criticized the verdict delivered by Justices John Chigiti, Lawrence Mugambi, and Jairus Ngaah, stating that it contradicted key parliamentary principles and lacked impartiality.

The Speaker also dismissed fears that laws passed under the Kenya Kwanza-led Parliament would be invalidated following the court’s decision.

“There is no court order declaring that all laws passed by this House are void. This kind of thinking is completely misplaced,” Wetangula clarified.

Breakdown of Parliamentary Numbers

A closer look at the composition of the National Assembly reveals how Kenya Kwanza’s 165-member majority is structured. The coalition’s numbers come from:

  • United Democratic Alliance (UDA) – 145 MPs
  • Amani National Congress (ANC) – 8 MPs
  • FORD-Kenya (FORD-K) – 6 MPs
  • The Service Party (TSP) – 2 MPs
  • National Agenda Party of Kenya (NAP-K) – 1 MP
  • Grand Dream Development Party (GDDP) – 1 MP
  • Democratic Party (DP) – 1 MP
  • Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) – 1 MP

On the other hand, the Azimio coalition holds 154 seats, with its members distributed as follows:

  • Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) – 83 MPs
  • Jubilee Party (JP) – 28 MPs
  • Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) – 26 MPs
  • Kenya African National Union (KANU) – 6 MPs
  • Democratic Alliance Party of Kenya (DAP-K) – 5 MPs
  • Kenya Union Party (KUP) – 3 MPs
  • United Party of Independent Alliance (UPIA) – 2 MPs
  • Movement for Democracy and Growth (MDG) – 1 MP

Meanwhile, members from the United Democratic Movement (UDM), National Ordinary People Empowerment Union (NOPEU), United Progressive Alliance (UPA), Maendeleo Chap Chap Party (MCCP), and Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) remain unaffiliated with either coalition.

What Happens Next?

With Azimio vowing to challenge Wetangula’s decision in court, the dispute over the majority status in Parliament is far from over.

The political standoff is expected to escalate, potentially setting the stage for further legal and parliamentary battles in the coming days.
