Despite a recent High Court ruling upholding his impeachment, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is still eligible to run for president in 2027, according to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama.

• The LSK President, Charles Kanjama, clarified that Gachagua can still vie for any seat, including the presidency.
• According to Article 99(3) of the Constitution, disqualification from office only occurs after all legal avenues of appeal are exhausted.
• Gachagua's legal team has indicated they will appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeal, meaning his eligibility is unaffected during pending appeals.
