Tension Builds Nationwide as Gachagua Breaks Silence Ahead of Historic Verdict

Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has called on Kenyans to pray for the country and the judiciary as the courts prepare to issue a highly anticipated ruling on the legality of his impeachment.

Speaking during a public engagement, Gachagua described the upcoming decision as a defining moment not only for his political future but also for the country’s constitutional order and democratic institutions.

He urged his supporters and all Kenyans to remain peaceful, respectful of the law, and committed to national unity regardless of the outcome.

The former Deputy President said the case transcends individual political interests and raises critical questions about the rule of law, due process, and the protection of constitutional offices.

According to Gachagua, the court’s verdict will help determine whether constitutional safeguards are being upheld in the country.

“I ask all Kenyans to pray for our nation, our judges, and our institutions. This is a moment that requires wisdom, fairness and fidelity to the Constitution,” he said.

The impeachment case has generated intense political debate since Gachagua challenged the process in court, arguing that it was marred by procedural irregularities and violated constitutional provisions.

His legal team has maintained that the process failed to meet the standards of fairness and justice required under the law.
