Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka could be the next National Assembly Speaker if the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party has its way in a vote for the position.
During a caucus of Azimio's elected leaders at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Mr Kalonzo's name featured prominently as a possible successor to Justin Muturi.
According to the National Assembly Standing Orders, the president is mandated to convene the first sitting of Parliament within 30 days after the General Election, meaning the showdown between President-elect William Ruto and Raila Odinga's Azimio will happen before September 9.
