The High Court has issued temporary conservatory orders suspending President William Ruto's Executive Order No. 2 of 2023, which placed the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) under the Ministry of Interior and National Administration.

• The order is suspended pending the full hearing and determination of a constitutional petition challenging the directive.
• The case was filed by Jonathan Obwogi against the Attorney General, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, and IPOA.
• This ruling ensures IPOA's operational independence remains unchanged for now, as stipulated by Section 4 of the IPOA Act.

The High Court has dismissed a petition seeking to nullify the registration of Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP). The court ruled that such disputes must first be heard by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal.

• The petitioners had accused the former Registrar of Political Parties of unlawfully registering DCP on February 3, 2025.
• Key individuals involved include Rigathi Gachagua and former Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu.
• The court invoked the doctrine of exhaustion, stating that statutory remedies must be pursued before approaching the High Court.
