MPs on Wednesday voted to approve formation of a Coalition Party.
In a late night sitting, 155 MPs voted to approve Clause 6 of the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, 2021 that seeks to establish Coalition political party.
Only 127 MPs - all Tangatanga- voted against the provision.
This has been one of the contentious issue in the Amos Kimunya sponsored Bill.
The MPs are holding a late night meeting to consider the Bill which is at the Committee of the Whole House stage.
Earlier MPs defeated an attempt by Kandara MP to scrap the provision viewed as key enabler of Azimio La Umoja coalition party being spearheaded by ODM leader Raila Odinga.
A record 158 MPs voted to defeat the amendments by Kandara MP Alice Wahome against 134 who voted for the changes.
MP Alice Wahome had proposed a deletion of Chapter Six of the Amendment Bill sponsored by the Majority Leader Amos Kimunya.
Clause 6 provides among other things the procedure to be followed for the registration of coalition political party, which includes the deposit of a coalition agreement.
It further provides that the governance of a coalition party shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Act and regulations relating to the governance of a coalition.
The clause also provides that a member of a coalition shall not be a member of another coalition.
There were chaos during debate which left several Mps injured.
The lawmakers resorted to physical confrontation disrupting the voting.
