The High Court in Nairobi has dismissed an application challenging the three-judge bench hearing a petition against Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's swearing-in. The court found no evidence of bias and set the hearing for the main petition in February 2026.

• The three-judge bench, consisting of Justices Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima, and Fridah Mugambi, declined to recuse itself.
• Activist Enock Aura filed the application, claiming bias because his case was separated from similar petitions.
• The original petition challenges Kindiki's swearing-in on November 1, 2024, arguing he was still Interior and Coordination Cabinet Secretary and the IEBC was not fully constituted.
