KINDIKI SWORN IN AS THE THIRD DEPUTY PRESIDENT OF KENYA
Gachaguas impeachment marked a historic first under the 2010 constitution,as he became the only Deputy president to be removed from the office through this process. His impeachment was confirmed by both the national assembly and the senate.
President Ruto nominated Kindiki the former cabinet secretary for interior deputy presidential role the next day after Kenyan court cleared the way for him in impeachment of Gachagua by a votes of more than two-thirds of legislators on October 17th 2024 on charges of corruption, inciting ethnic divisions and support for anti government protest.
On first of November 2024 Kindiki Kithure was sworn in as Kenyan new Deputy president after dramatic series of impeachment votes.
Kindiki a 52year old law professor has been serving well on his position as interior minister making president hopes Kindikis accession will put to an end a febrile chapter in Kenya's political history.
In their speech with the president Ruto,Kindiki confirmed that he will be loyal and faithful to the president as Ruto confidently replied that he's happy Kindiki will do what he have missed in the last 2years.He praised Kindiki as patriot whose dedication to cohesion, national unity and inclusivityis beyond reproach.
Ruto therefore appointed prime cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi as the acting interior minister.
The question is,Is Kindiki likely prove a more loyal Deputy president than Gachagua?
