Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is scheduled to face the National Assembly on Tuesday at 5 PM, in a bid to defend himself against rising calls for his impeachment. This crucial appearance comes at a time of heightened political tension, with a public participation exercise set for the 4th of October across all 47 counties, designed to gauge national sentiment on the matter.
The impeachment process, which would require the support of at least 233 MPs, has sparked widespread debate within political circles. Gachagua’s political survival hangs in the balance, with both his supporters and opponents working behind the scenes to rally support ahead of the anticipated vote.
Public participation is expected to be a significant factor, potentially influencing undecided MPs. Pro-Gachagua forces are mobilizing at the grassroots level, hoping to sway public opinion in his favor, while his critics are equally focused on ensuring his ouster.
This will be a pivotal moment for the Deputy President, as the outcome of the parliamentary session could define the future of his political career and impact the stability of the current administration.
