Nairobi County Assembly Members on Tuesday elected Ngara MCA Chege Mwaura to act as the acting Speaker following the impeachment of speaker Beatrice Elachi.
The MCA defied an order by the Labour Court that had suspended Ms Elachi’s impeachment.
Among those who were vying for the seat were Ngara MCA and Majority Whip Chege Mwaura, Mary Arivisa and Mary Njambi alias ‘mafirifiri’.
Mr Mwaura was elected unanimously by 84 members present in the Assembly after his competitors withdrew from the race.
His first duty was to adjourn the Assembly until Wednesday 2.30pm.
