The Court of Appeal has declined to suspend a High Court ruling that declared the Azimio party as the majority in the National Assembly, dealing a blow to Speaker Moses Wetangula’s efforts to overturn the decision.
Wetangula had appealed the ruling, arguing that it had severely disrupted legislative functions. However, the Court dismissed this claim, stating that there was no sufficient evidence to prove that parliamentary business had been paralyzed.
“Even after the contested Speaker’s ruling of 12th February 2025, the National Assembly has continued to discharge its duties, albeit with some acrimony,” the judges noted.
