The legal challenges surrounding the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua from the Deputy President position are moving to a decisive phase, with the High Court scheduling marathon hearings for mid-April and May 2026. A three-judge bench will preside over the consolidated petitions, examining whether due process was followed in his removal.

• The High Court has set April 14–18 and May 26–28, 2026, for substantive hearings on Gachagua's impeachment challenges.
• The case involves more than 40 separate constitutional petitions challenging the impeachment, parliamentary and judicial processes, and the subsequent nomination of Prof. Kithure Kindiki.
• Gachagua's legal team, led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, contends that he suffered direct harm from the "unlawful impeachment," with a separate compensation claim also set for April.
