In a decision made by three judges on Friday, February 7, judges John Chigiti, Jairus Ngaah, and Lawrence Mugambi confirmed that Union Declaration One Kenya Coalition Party is the lawful to hold the majority in the national parliament.

The decision followed Wetang'ula's complex decision to reorganize 14 members from various parties to Kenya first, and to change the balance of authority and favor the ruling coalition.

However, the court said that the Speaker had no legal reasons for the decision.

How did Wetang'ula violate the constitution

The three judges' bench said that although the Speaker of Parliament had evidence from the Registrar of Political Parties showing that the Resolution Coalition was the main party, he completely ignored the evidence.

The judges said that the allegations of the Speaker and the leader of the majority Kimani Ichung'wa that there was a post -election agreement between One Kenya Alliance and other Resolution Coalition parties were never supported by any evidence.

“Based on the information provided by the Registrar of Political Parties, these parties were members of the Union Declaration. There was no evidence that this court or any court terminated the Union Declaration Convention,” the judges said in one statement.

The judges insisted that the voters had already decided the majority party through the electoral process and that the Speaker's decision could not overturn the voters' wishes.

Why is Wetang'ula's impartiality examined

As a result, the Supreme Court has issued an order to overturn the declaration of Wetangula that the Union of Kenya is the first party in the national parliament.

This decision signifies a major legal victory for a coalition resolution and raises questions about the speaker's impartiality in dealing with Parliamentary matters.
