President-elect William Ruto continued to solidify his numbers in Parliament, scoring a major win by poaching members of the United Democratic Movement (UDM) and some independent MPs-elect.

The backing of members from the party, which scored major wins in North Eastern, and includes two governors, two senators, and seven MPs, assures Ruto of the majority he needs to control government business in both the National Assembly and Senate if he is confirmed as president by the Supreme Court in the event Azimio loses the petition it plans to file to challenge his win.

The coalition party led by Raila Odinga it will then have to contend with more losses in the form of members of affiliate parties.
