 Kenya court clears way for swearing-in of new deputy president

Gachagua's legal challenges extend months of political turmoil in Kenya, East Africa's largest economy, that began with nationwide protests against unpopular tax hikes in June.


His impeachment followed a rift with Ruto that has soured their relationship since they ran together in an election two years ago.
