A showdown is expected Tuesday at the Nyamira County Assembly as two rival factions prepare to meet for the first time in six months to deliberate on a Senate report.

Both factions claim to be the legitimate leadership of the Assembly, with each having assumed the authority to call the House to order as it reconvenes from a five-week recess.
