Justin Muturi re- elected speaker of the National Assembly

Bedan Justin Muturi with the backing of majority Jubilee MPs, was elected in the second round of the vote after failing to meet the two-thirds-majority-vote threshold in Round One. In the first round, he managed 217 votes against the two-thirds-majority target of 233 out of 348 votes. His only competitor Noah Migudo managed four votes out of the 221 cast in the first round. In the second round, Mr Muturi, who required a simple majority to clinch the seat, got 220 as Dr. Migudo managed one vote.
