Deputy President William Ruto has suffered a setback after a proposal by his close ally Aden Duale seeking to expunge a clause in the contentious Political Parties Amendment Bill, 2021 was defeated on the floor of the House.

In the morning sitting, Mr Duale was seeking to amend Clause 8 of the Bill, which provides that a coalition political party must deposit its coalition agreement with the Registrar of Political parties six months to the General Election.
