The coalition then appointed Caroli Omondi, the Member of Parliament for Suba South Constituency, to take over the role with immediate effect.
The parliamentary group leader plays a key role in coordinating members of the coalition in Parliament, guiding discussions on legislation, and ensuring that lawmakers work together on matters affecting the coalition’s political agenda.
Alongside the leadership change in Parliament, the coalition also announced that several individuals had ceased to be members of its top decision-making organs.
According to the statement, this decision was made after some of the leaders joined other political coalitions or accepted appointments in public office.
Among those who were said to have ceased being members of the Azimio Coalition Council are Ali Hassan Joho, who currently serves as the Cabinet Secretary for Mining, nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege, Abdi Noor Omar Farah, and Junet Mohamed.
The statement also listed several leaders who have ceased to be members of the Azimio National Coalition Executive Council.
These include Wycliffe Oparanya, Adan Keynan, David Pkosing, Mishi Mboko, Abdul Haji, Junet Mohamed, Opiyo Wandayi, Isabella Wangechi Githinji, Caroline Wanjiru Karugu and Solomon Kuria.
Coalition leaders explained that these adjustments were necessary to align the party’s leadership with the current political landscape.
According to the statement, some of the individuals listed had taken up government positions or become involved with other political groupings, making it difficult for them to continue serving in the coalition’s leadership structures.
The move signals a fresh attempt by the coalition to reorganize its internal leadership and strengthen coordination among its members, especially within Parliament where political debates and legislative decisions continue to shape national policies.
