The recent ruling set the stage for Abraham Kithure Kindiki to become Deputy President of Kenya. He hails from Irunduni village in Tharaka-Nithi County. Kindiki has had a notable political journey. Voters elected him to the Senate in 2013, and he served as Senate Majority Leader. In 2017, he took on the role of Deputy Speaker.
His bid for Deputy President gained attention during the 2022 elections. He narrowly missed becoming William Ruto’s running mate. Despite strong backing from Mt. Kenya leaders, Ruto chose Rigathi Gachagua instead. Ruto’s long relationship with Kindiki and recent polling favored him for the role, making his nomination as Gachagua’s successor a logical choice.
Abraham Kithure Kindiki has now been sworn in as Deputy President. His experience as a seasoned lawyer enhances his qualifications. His rise to Deputy President demonstrates his resilience. It also marks a strategic move for the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. As he steps into this important role, Kenya’s political dynamics will continue to shift.
