Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua finds himself in an increasingly precarious political position following his overwhelming impeachment in the National Assembly on Tuesday, October 8.
As the dust settles, the gravity of his situation becomes clearer: his political future hangs by a thread, and the options for a dignified exit are rapidly diminishing.
Impeachment carries severe consequences; it would not only bar Gachagua from holding any public office permanently, but would also strip him of his exit benefits.
With key political figures, including his boss, President William Ruto, publicly backing his removal, observers are suggesting that resignation may be his best option to salvage what remains of his political career.
Former Naivasha MP John Mututho weighed in on the matter, urging Gachagua to resign with humility.
