Kericho Governor Erick Mutai has survived a second impeachment attempt within a year after the Senate terminated proceedings. A vote by Senators determined the impeachment threshold had not been met, quashing the charges of constitutional violations, abuse of office, and gross misconduct.

• 25 out of 42 Senators voted that the threshold was not met, leading to the termination of impeachment proceedings by Speaker Amason Kingi.
• The Governor’s legal team argued that the initial 32 threshold at the County Assembly level had not been achieved.
• The contentious issue of the voting process at the County Assembly, even with expert witnesses, prevented a full delve into the substantive impeachment matters.
