A petition has been filed in Kenya's Milimani High Court seeking to prohibit the use of State House for political activities. This legal challenge, led by advocate Monica Muthoni Ndung'u and Joseph Karanja Muchai, targets President William Ruto's administration for allegedly hosting partisan political gatherings at the official presidential residence.

• The petitioners cite at least 13 documented events between June 2024 and February 2026, including a February 4, 2026 meeting where President Ruto stated he met 12,353 UDA aspirants at State House, Nairobi.
• The petition argues these activities violate multiple constitutional provisions, including Articles 73 and 75 on leadership and integrity, and Article 129 on executive authority.
• They are seeking a declaration that such use of State House is unconstitutional and a permanent injunction, along with urgent conservatory orders to halt the practice pending the case's determination.
