The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has finalized its new parliamentary leadership appointments.

Suba East Member of Parliament Junet Mohamed has been nominated as the new Minority Leader in the National Assembly. This appointment means he will succeed Opiyo Wandayi, the Ugunja MP, who was nominated as the Cabinet Secretary for Energy by President William Ruto.


Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has been nominated as the new Minority Whip in the National Assembly, taking over the role previously held by Junet Mohamed. Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has also been appointed as the Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly, a position formerly held by John Mbadi, who was recently nominated as the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury in President William Ruto's government.
