Dp Gachagua Faces Impeachment Threat as Over 300 MPs Sign Motion

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is facing an increasingly perilous political future as over 300 Members of Parliament have signed a motion for his impeachment. The move, spearheaded by a growing faction within Parliament, has intensified the pressure on Gachagua, with many accusing him of misconduct.

The impeachment motion, which has been presented to the Speaker of the National Assembly, is seen as a serious threat to Gachagua’s political career. The MPs behind the motion claim that the Deputy President has failed to meet the expectations of his role and is detrimental to the country’s governance. A formal debate is expected soon, which will determine whether the motion gains enough traction to lead to a vote on his removal.

Amid this political crisis, attention has shifted to the possible replacement of Gachagua. Leaders within the ruling coalition have reportedly shown strong support for Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki as their preferred candidate for the position of Deputy President. Kindiki, who has gained popularity for his handling of security and governance issues, is seen as a capable alternative to Gachagua.

Political analysts suggest that Gachagua’s survival will depend largely on his ability to regain favor within the government and convince MPs to withdraw their support for the impeachment motion. With the backing of more than 300 MPs, Gachagua’s position appears increasingly untenable.

As the political drama unfolds, the country is watching closely to see whether Gachagua can weather the storm or if Kithure Kindiki will rise to the occasion as Kenya’s next Deputy President.
