Kenyans on Twitter have come out in large numbers to express their views on Kileleshwa's Robert Alai statement.
On Saturday, Alai said that Kenya only needed to have two political parties.
"We need only two parties in Kenya. ODM and UDA," he said.
The parties, United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) have the majority of elected members in both the National Assembly and Senate.
The National Assembly has 349 MPs (290 from single-member constituencies, 47 women representing counties, and 12 nominated by political parties depending on their strength) while the Senate has 67 Senators (47 elected from each county and 20 nominated by political parties depending on seats won).
Responding to Alai's tweet Kenyans had different reactions towards the two-party state statement.
" You're making sense," Bonnie Musambi said.
"There's only one problem with that, some political leaders will never willingly let go of their parties e.g do you expect Kalonzo, Mutua, e.t.c to close their parties?" posed Daniel Muli."
"This is spot on. Except UDA & ODM, most of the other parties are regional parties for bargaining. There are few exceptions too which have potentials for growth," said Tache Dida
