The case will resume at 2PM. Kenyans will now have to wait and see what happens going forward. The case is expected to be determined today and if the outcome flavours the government. Then, Professor Kithure Kindiki will be sworn in as a deputy President of the republic of Kenya immediately.

Kindiki was appointed by President William Ruto and approved by the national assembly. However, his swearing in process was stopped by the courts in Kerugoya and Milimani. Judge Chacha Mwita directed that the process be halted until the case is determined on October 24, 2024.

The lawyers representing Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have also asked the courts to move the hearing to Thursday so that the ruling cannot nullify any other petitions within Others courts.
