Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua woes are far from over.
As he fights in court to defend his position, President William Ruto’s party is ready to kick him out as the deputy party leader.
According to Omar, the party constitution does not allow any other person other than the Deputy President to be its deputy party leader. He said Kindiki Kithure, Deputy President designate, would replace the out-of-favor Gachagua.
Gachagua now awaits a fate similar to his ally the former UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala.
At the same time, Omar denied claims that the region had abandoned the President and the Kenya Kwanza administration.
After his dramatic ouster, Malala claimed he was hounded out because of his relationship with Gachagua, saying plans to remove him were hatched after he opposed his impeachment.
He said Gachagua’s impeachment had nothing to do with Ruto, the so-called broad-based government or any other narrative the coup plotters have advanced.
Gachagua criticized the move, saying he was not consulted.
