Gachagua Eyes 2027 Presidential Bid Amid Impeachment Ruling

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stated that a High Court ruling on his 2024 impeachment scheduled for June 8, 2026, will not derail his presidential ambitions, even if the court upholds his removal from office. The upcoming ruling is poised to significantly influence Kenya's 2027 elections, according to political analysts. Meanwhile, President William Ruto's administration is allocating the majority of the Sh4.8 trillion budget for the 2026/27 financial year to his key projects, particularly focusing on affordable housing and urban development. The budget allocation comes as Ruto positions himself for the 2027 electoral contest.
