Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru addressed the debate over whether politicians removed from office through impeachment can seek elective positions again. In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, Njiru cited Article 259(10) of Kenya’s Constitution. He argued that the provision protects the right of impeached leaders to return to public office.
The discussion follows recent political tensions surrounding the impeachment of several high-profile officials. Njiru emphasized that the constitutional clause ensures continuity in political participation. He clarified that there is no explicit ban on re-election for those who have been impeached.
This legal interpretation comes amid ongoing debates about the limits of executive power and the role of the judiciary in Kenya. The issue has sparked discussions among legal experts and political analysts. Njiru’s analysis adds to the growing body of legal commentary on the country’s political framework.
