Deputy President Kithure Kindiki /FILEA three-judge bench is set to deliver a ruling on March 19, 2026, on an application by petitioner Joseph Aura, who is seeking the removal of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki. The dispute is linked to the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Kinyanjui told the court that the amended petition raises weighty issues of law that justify certification for a five-judge bench. In the amended petition, Aura argues that Kindiki was sworn in as Deputy President outside constitutionally prescribed parameters. In his rejoinder, Kinyanjui clarified that the case was framed solely for certification and forwarding to the Chief Justice for consideration of an expanded bench.
