At the same time, the National Assembly Speaker gaveย ODM 14 days to fill up theย vacancies following the de-whipping.

Among those affected include Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba, who recently announced that he wouldย defend his seat with the Labour Party of Kenya (LPK), and Nominated MP Isaac Mwauraย who has since decamped to the Jubilee Party.

The Budalangi lawmaker was discharged from the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Committee of Administration and National Security and the Constitution Implementation Oversight and implementation Committee.

Nominated MPย James Rege was removed from the Committees of Energy and Equal opportunity and National Cohesion
