Kalonzo Musyoka Named Azimio Leader as High Court Voids 21 Presidential Advisor Roles - February 2026

Kalonzo Musyoka has been appointed the new leader of the Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya coalition following a leadership overhaul ratified on February 2, 2026, which also saw the replacement of Secretary General Junet Mohamed. In events concerning the executive, the High Court of Kenya rejected a request to halt its earlier ruling that invalidated the appointment of 21 presidential advisors, with Justice Bahati Mwamuye deeming the applications res judicata. This decision dismissed applications seeking to suspend the nullification of the appointments. Separately, Marjan Hussein Marjan has resigned as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) after serving since 2015.
