  • MPs argued that numerous Azimio MPs have accepted lucrative positions in government, thereby rendering the earlier discussions on parliamentary majority moot.

The article from MSN discusses the reaction of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Members of Parliament to a High Court ruling in Kenya that declared the Azimio coalition as having the majority in the National Assembly. UDA MPs have dismissed this ruling, arguing that it does not reflect the current political dynamics or the will of the electorate. They assert that the Kenya Kwanza coalition, which includes UDA, holds the majority with 170 MPs compared to Azimio's 157. The MPs, led by figures like Kimani Ichung'wah, have criticized the court's decision as an attempt to cause political instability and have vowed not to be swayed by what they consider judicial overreach. They maintain that the ruling should not disrupt the legislative process or the government's agenda, emphasizing that the numbers in parliament are clear and should not be tampered with by judicial decisions.
