Kenya is facing political uncertainty after the High Court blocked President William Ruto's attempt to appoint a new deputy president following the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua.
The court's injunction came just hours after Ruto nominated Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki for the role. This marks the first impeachment of a deputy president under Kenya's new constitution, and the situation has sparked calls for further political action, including potential moves against President Ruto himself.
The court will hear the case next week, leaving the country's leadership in a state of flux.
