    "content": "A simple calculation of the cited numbers, with reference to the communication and coalition agreements received from the Registrar of Political Parties, indicates the cumulative number of the Members of the constituent parties of the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party and the Kenya Kwanza Alliance as follows: Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party consists of 154 Members, computed by adding the membership of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Jubilee Party, Wiper Democratic Movement–Kenya (WDM), Kenya African National Union (KANU), Democratic Action Party–Kenya (DAP-K), Kenya Union Party (KUP), United Party of Independent Alliance (UPIA) and Movement for Democratic Growth (MDG). The Kenya Kwanza Alliance consists of 165 members computed by adding the membership of United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Amani National Congress (ANC), FORD- Kenya, The Service Party (TSP), National Agenda Party of Kenya (NAP-K), Grand Dream Development Party (GDDP), Democratic Party of Kenya (DPK), and Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM). Hon. Members, it is notable that the numbers relating to Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party are tinged by a slight element of doubt with respect to membership of the Movement for Democratic and Growth (MDG). You will recall the express sentiments made in the House yesterday, by the sole Member and party leader of the MDG, dissociating both himself and the party from the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party. However, I decline to engage in this controversy. It is further notable that even if it was to be assumed that the four vacancies were to be filled in favour of the parties under which the former Members were elected and nominated and their number added to the computation of the two coalitions, Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party would still not attain a majority of the Members in the House. Arising from the foregoing, the Kenya Kwanza Coalition is the Majority Party and the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party is the Minority Party in the House."
