The National Assembly has approved the nomination of Prof. Kithure Kindiki as Deputy President.

Kindiki’s nomination was overwhelmingly supported by a majority of 236 MPs, with no legislator opposing or abstaining.

Following the approval by the National Assembly, President William Ruto will officially appoint Kindiki as deputy president after which he will take the oath of office.

Upon being sworn in, Kindiki takes over as the country's second in command, replacing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who was impeached by Parliament.
