Kericho Governor Eric Mutai has once again survived an impeachment attempt by the Kericho County Assembly, with the Senate voting to acquit him. This marks the second time in less than a year that Governor Mutai has faced and overcome an impeachment motion.

• The Senate voted 26 against 16, effectively determining that the impeachment threshold was not met.
• The charges included gross misconduct and abuse of office.
• A key contention was whether the required 32 MCAs had legally voted for his impeachment at the county level, with evidence of some votes being cast from remote locations like Ahero in Kisumu and Kapsabet in Nandi.
