Kenya’s Kithure Kindiki has been sworn in as the country’s new deputy president to replace Rigathi Gachagua, who was impeached by parliament in October, TRT Afrika reported.
Professor Kindiki’s swearing-in — marked by a public holiday — was held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Kenya’s capital Nairobi on Friday, November 1.
The ceremony came hours after the High Court lifted orders that had barred Kindiki’s oath-taking following a petition filed by former Deputy President Gachagua.
It is that oath that ostensibly marks the end of Gachagua’s two years in office as Kenya’s second-most powerful person.
