It’s the first impeachment under the country’s new Constitution, but some are now calling for a similar move against President William Ruto.

Kenya’s Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been removed from office after he was impeached in a historic vote in the country’s Senate on Thursday night. Gachagua becomes the first deputy president to be removed from office in this way since impeachment was introduced in Kenya’s 2010 constitution.

The High Court has issued a conservatory ordern stopping the filling of the vacancy in the Office of the Deputy President following Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment.
