Kenyan lawmakers on Tuesday voted to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of corruption, stirring ethnic division, and supporting anti-government protests in June.
Gachagua, who has denied the charges, claims the move is politically motivated and linked to tensions with President William Ruto.
Ahead of the vote, Gachagua asked lawmakers to search their conscience, stating there were no grounds to impeach him, appealing to them to make the right decision.
Local media have extensively reported on the fallout between Gachagua and Ruto amid shifting political alliances, which has stoked political tensions and exposed divisions among those in power.
