All eyes are on National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula after the Azimio coalition Parliamentary Group[PG] removed Sabina Chege as Deputy Minority Leader.
The coalition on Tuesday resolved to kick out Chege from the minority leadership of the National Assembly and replaced her with Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje.
Wetang'ula had last month put on hold Azimio's push to de-whip the nominated MP for 30 days until the coalition provided her replacement.
With the period expiring, the opposition coalition is keen to have the speaker effect the changes as Azimio moves to crack the whip on dissidents.
''I hereby grant the minority party a period of 30 days from today within which to convey the appropriate communication on the replacement of its deputy minority whip, if it so wishes,'' Wetang'ula ruled before the house proceeded on recess.
Following Mwenje's nomination on Tuesday, the coalition has written to Wetang'ula seeking Chege's replacement ahead of the resumption of the house's sittings next week.
Azimio's move to pick Mwenje as Chege's replacement partly fulfills Wetang'ula's conditions.
Chege is embroiled in a leadership battle for the soul of the Jubilee party with Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
She is in a faction that is supporting President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza government and which had claimed to have ousted Uhuru as the Jubilee party leader.
