The supremacy battle for the control of Parliament is headed to the courts after Azimio la Umoja vowed to contest the ruling by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula declaring Kenya Kwanza as the majority side.

In a ruling delivered on Thursday, October 6, 20222, the Speaker decreed that Kenya Kwanza had marshalled more MPs in the House after 14 legislators from Maendeleo Chap Chap (MCC), Pan Africa Alliance (PAA), United Democratic Alliance (UDM) and Movement for Growth and Democracy (MDG) allied to Azimio crossed over to it after the August election.
