National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has announced that he will make a ruling on which coalition has majority members on Thursday.
The ruling will be made at 2:30 pm.
"I will consider the matter that you have prosecuted before the house and I will give you a reasoned ruling touching to the facts, the jurisprudence the constitutionality of the issue and any other matters that we conversed on Thursday, October 6, 2022, at 2:30pm," he said.
Wetangula spoke before adjourning Tuesday's proceedings where leaders from Azimio and Kenya Kwanza battled for majority status.
He had given the floor to MPs to discuss the issue of house majority, delaying the formation of the House Business Committee.
"I will reserve the rest of today’s sitting to allow the House to address me on this matter so that I can retreat to issue my guidance," he said.
While making submission, MP Ichungwah argued that Azimio is not a Parliamentary Party and should not be entertained in the House.
"The question before you is to determine which is the largest party or coalition and that party must be a Parliamentary Party. Is Azimio a parliamentary party? The answer is that Azimio is not a parliamentary party,” he said.
Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi dismissed the argument, saying the election law as amended recognizes Azimio as both a political party and a coalition.
"Azimio is both a political party and a coalition and that is the law."
Suna East MP Junet Mohamed backed his sentiments saying Kenyans had voted for majority of members from the Azimio coalition.
"The will of the people of Kenya who elected the President must be respected just as the will of the people who gave certain coalitions and parties the majority in this House," he said.
Garissa Township MP Aden Duale in his response to the submissions said the two MPs alongside other Azimio allied members were reaping from the law signed by the 12th Parliament, to amend the political parties act.
"Mr Speaker, I remember I told my colleagues then, that don't make laws that will haunt you. There are people who are running away from that chaos," he said.
"As they say Murife don't run, Junet and your colleagues don't run. This matter must be decided this afternoon."
