The Friday sitting and the likelihood of a DP nominee announcement will come just a day after the Senate has made its decision on the impeachment charges against DP Gachagua.
On Tuesday, the House Business Committee (HBC) of the National Assembly met and altered its calendar to have a sitting on Friday, a day the MPs were scheduled to proceed on a short recess.
The country will mark Mashujaa Day celebrations on October 20, 2024, perhaps with a deputy president nominee, should the Senate uphold last week's impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua by the National Assembly.
Although the National Assembly does not usually sit on Friday, a session has been scheduled this week with expectations that President William Ruto will transmit to the House the name of his DP nominee for processing.
