President William Ruto has nominated Kithure Kindiki as the new Deputy President following Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment, but the High Court has temporarily blocked the appointment.
The High Court's decision to stay Kindiki's appointment until next week underlines the legal complexities surrounding Gachagua's impeachment and the growing tensions within Kenya's ruling party.
Gachagua's impeachment process has faced criticism for being hasty, particularly as it coincided with the former deputy president's hospitalization, raising concerns about procedural fairness in the Senate.
Kindiki, having been a close ally of Ruto and a key minister, represents continuity in leadership, but his appointment is currently suspended due to ongoing court deliberations.
