ODM leader Raila Odinga has continued to gain a foothold in Parliament, thanks to his working relationship with President William Ruto.

Ahead of the announcement of what is expected to be a major political deal between the former premier and the President, Raila has continued to leverage on his pact with Ruto to gain control of the House at the expense of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

After taking control of seven crucial committees in the Senate, Raila stands to reap more from a shakeup of the National Assembly committees that was completed on Wednesday.
