Speaker Elachi handed over her duties to her deputy on Tuesday morning claiming that she has experienced life-threatening incidences.
"I humbly tender my resignation to President Uhuru Kenya. For the last few days there have been life threatening incidences. I appoint my deputy speaker, John Kamangu as acting speaker," her letter of resignation read in part.
She would later ask Governor Mike Sonko to "seek God for guidance and wisdom".
