The change was confirmed in a statement issued by the leader of the Azimio coalition Kalonzo Musyokawho said the union is determined to reform its leadership following a joint meeting of the Union Council and the General Council of the National Union.
What changes were made in the Declaration?
According to the statement, the meeting decided to remove Junet as the Leader of the Resolution Parliamentary Group in the National Assembly and replace him with South Suba Member of Parliament Caroli Omondi.
“The meeting also decided to suspend the appointment of Junet Mohamed as the Leader of the Union of Resolution Parliamentary Group and in the National Assembly and appoint Caroli Omondi as the Leader of the Parliamentary Group of the Union of Resolution and in the National Assembly immediately,” Kalonzo said.
Kalonzo added that the change in leadership was made because some people were no longer active members of the higher decision-making bodies of the union.
He added that the One Kenya United Declaration Party had convened the meeting and agreed that some people had stopped being members of the two bodies after taking public offices or joining opposing political alliances.
Among those listed as having ceased to be members of the Resolution Council were Secretary of the Cabinet of Ministers for Mines Ali Hassan Joho, an elected Member of Parliament Sabina ChegeAbdi Noor Omar Farah, and Junet.
The union also named several people who were removed from the General Council of the National Union of Resolution.
They include Wycliffe Ambetha Oparanya, Adan Keynan Wehliye, David Pkosing, Mishi Mboko, Abdul Haji, James Opiyo Wandayi, Isabella Wangechi Githinji, Caroline Wanjiru Karugu, and Solomon Kuria.
The statement further indicated that new candidates would be announced soon as part of what the coalition described as an expanded party structure.
How did Junet respond about being stripped of the post Azimio?
The speaker seemed indifferent to the decision announced on Monday, March 9, choosing humor instead of responding with pride.
Shortly after the announcement, Junet shared an old meme that went viral on her X account, hinting that she was getting over the development.
Despite the importance of the move, Junet’s responses showed that he was not worried by the change.
Shortly after the announcement was distributed online, the member of parliament from Suna East published the famous meme of 2016.
Junet seemed to indicate that he saw the latest development as just another incident in Kenya’s often turbulent political environment.

Kalonzo later accepted the appointment and thanked the leadership of the union and the member parties for the trust they have in him.
