Ledama Olekina, a senator from Narok, has claimed that President William Ruto will suffocate democracy in the nation if he keeps up his recent behaviour.

The senator predicted that parliament would soon lose its authority in light of recent political developments, including the President's meetings with lawmakers who support the opposition.

Ledama continued by pointing out that the President would have complete power in parliament due to his supermajority.

He continued by saying that he would do his best to uphold human rights and the interests of society.

"William Ruto's cannibalization of political parties will destroy democracy. It reminds me of Rousseau's claim that simply the citizens, who were sovereign, have in his social compact the all-powerful right to legislate and not monarch as political science students.

"Very soon, Ruto will pass laws, and debate in parliament will cease to exist. The protection of fundamental rights and the advancement of the essential common good of society will be at his mercy with a supermajority in parliament, Ledama warned in a tweet.

President Ruto has successfully persuaded Jubilee MPs and some ODM members to embrace his agenda.

The action is like giving the President complete control over the two houses of parliament.

The Jubilee party's pro-Ruto MPs have been lobbying to get it to join the Kenya Kwanza coalition.

During a meeting last week, the party's NEC decided to replace its leadership and withdraw from the Azimio alliance.

The Registrar of Political Parties sent them back to the drawing board on Tuesday.

Nderitu said in a letter obtained by the Star, "With regard to leaving the coalition political party, pls heedthe terms of the coalition agreement between the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance and the function of respective party organs."

"The party is expected to keep the office informed of how the internal dispute resolution and disciplinary procedures are going. As you go through the aforementioned stages, you must also follow the rules outlined in the party constitution."
