If the Senate upholds his impeachment, DP Rigathi Gachagua's political career is over as he will never hold political office. It is going to be the loneliest 48 hours the Deputy President has ever experienced. President Ruto is expected to nominate a new deputy president on Friday if the Senate concludes the matter tomorrow, with Parliament proceeding to vote on the nomination within 60 days. It is almost certain that Gachagua will fall in the Senate, where Ruto and Raila control the numbers. If the Senate upholds his impeachment, Gachagua's political career is over as he will never hold political office.
