Impeached but Defiant: Kenya’s Deputy President Gachagua Clings to Power

Share

By Ollus Ndomu

Kenya’s impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is refusing to go quietly, launching a fierce tirade against President William Ruto and positioning himself as a martyr of political injustice.

Despite being ousted by the Senate in a historic vote that underscored the deepening rifts within the government, Gachagua remains defiant, insisting he is the true voice of the people.

His social media accounts still brand him as “Deputy President,” a provocative move that challenges the authority of the very institution that removed him from office.

With his security detail stripped away, Gachagua is exposed and vulnerable, yet he remains resolute, continuing to stir controversy and draw attention to his plight.

The swearing-in of his successor, Kindiki Kithure, hangs in the balance, caught in a legal limbo due to a court challenge initiated by Gachagua’s camp.

As tensions mount within the ruling coalition, Gachagua’s defiance sends shockwaves through the political landscape, signaling a turbulent period ahead for Kenya.
