Professor Kithure Kindiki will be sworn in at a ceremony scheduled for Saturday, October 19, at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi.
The nominated DP will assume office just a day after Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment, marking a rapid transition in the country’s leadership.
Seems like President William Ruto is eager to expedite the process, although it remains unclear whether the ceremony will be done after the High Court issued conservatory orders.
senior government advisor Moses Kuria had recently shared a video showing a sneak peek of the preparations being made at Uhuru Gardens for the swearing-in ceremony.
“Inspecting the site for tomorrow swearing in of H.E Kithure Kundiki, 3rd Deputy President under the 2010 Katiba.”
Kindiki was nominated by the president after the former DP Regathi gachagua was impeached by the senate last night.
Kindiki’s ascension will make him the country’s 13th Vice President and the third under the 2010 Constitution. Prior to 2010, the appointment of the Vice President was often influenced by power brokers or left to the President’s discretion, with incumbents facing the constant threat of being sidelined, fired, or forced out.
