💨 Abstract

Kenya will swear in Kithure Kindiki as the new deputy president on Friday, following a court ruling that lifted orders barring his inauguration. This comes after a controversial impeachment of his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, by parliament on charges including constitutional violations and ethnic hatred. Gachagua's legal challenges prolonged political instability in Kenya, East Africa's largest economy, which began with protests against tax hikes in June.
