The High Court is expected to deliver its ruling on June 8 in the case of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who was removed from office in October 2024.
Gachagua is challenging the decisions by the National Assembly and Senate, claiming the process violated the Constitution. He wants the court to rule that his removal was unlawful and award him compensation for his salary. Political analysts say the ruling could affect the 2027 general election dynamics. Dismas Mokua said Gachagua has turned his challenge into significant influence in his region. Others including Herman Manyora and Edwin Sifuna stressed the need for the opposition to unite to defeat President William Ruto. Mukhisa Kituyi said the next election should focus on economic plans.
