The Migori County Assembly on Tuesday elected a substantive deputy speaker to replace Mr George Omamba who was barred from the office by the Labour Court.
The session was chaired by assembly speaker Boaz Okoth, where the MCAs voted in Bukira East MCA, Mathews Chacha.
Mr. Chacha, who formerly served as the head of committee chairpersons in the assembly replaced Mr. Omamba whose reinstatement had been set aside by court.
Mr. Omamba withdrew from the race citing "emerging Dynamics" after he tried in vain to reclaim the seat following his reinstatement.
Mr Chacha garnered 41 votes while 11 members abstained from the election. His immediate challenger Hon Leo Ogwada got zero votes.
