Members of the Nyandarua County Assembly on Friday Impeached Speaker Wahome Ndegwa.
30 out of 39 MCAs voted in favour of his ouster after being accused of among other things abuse of office.
One MCA voted against the motion while eight were absent.
The county lawmakers convened a special sitting after a court ruling cleared the impeachment motion sponsored by the assembly's majority leader Kingori Wambugu.
Recent demands by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party that it will accept nothing short of the Deputy President (if not the top seat) only complicate what is already proving to be a difficult decision for a president whose former deputy has made it his personal mission to make him a serve one term.
Uhuru who is enjoying his retirement has emerged as a kingmaker whose actions have ripple effects in the political ecosystem with 2027 presidential hopefuls eyeing his endorsement and keen on being part of a coalition of alliance that has his backing.
Speaker Ndegwa is accused of corruption and unethical practices through nepotism, influencing tendering for the hiring of his personal vehicle, illegally paying himself Sh606,000 in allowances and appointing himself a signatory to bank accounts from which colossal amounts of money were irregularly withdrawn.
