But it is now official that the relationship between President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, will never be the same - whether the deputy survives impeachment or not.

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga described the move to impeach Mr Gachagua as an affront to the people of Mt Kenya region.

The analyst argues that no one should be surprised if President Ruto and DP Gachagua are part of a political team as the country approaches 2027.
