"This appointment is a testament to the confidence you have placed in me, and I assure you that I will carry out my duties with utmost dedication and integrity. I am committed to upholding the values of transparency and accountability as we work together to strengthen our nation's governance. Thank you for this incredible opportunity," Amisi said.

Suna East MP Junet Mohamed was proposed as the new minority leader, overseeing the opposition's business in the National Assembly.

The foregoing nominations will be ratified in the Azimio La Umoja Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting.
