Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua suffered a setback as the High Court in Milimani upheld the legitimate swearing-in of his successor, DP Kithure Kindiki, stating the matter was "overtaken by events." The court also rejected Gachagua's request for the bench to recuse itself, affirming the Chief Justice's administrative authority in empaneling benches.

• The 3-judge bench included Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima, and Dr. Freda Mugambi.
• Gachagua is now seeking Ksh.40 million in compensation for his unserved term, including a Ksh.1.2 million monthly salary.
• The court allowed Gachagua to remain the sole petitioner, rejecting an attempt by Frederick Mula to take over the petition.
