On May 22, 2020, the Kenyan Senate witnessed a significant development as Deputy Speaker Kithure Kindiki faced a vote of no confidence. The motion, which was tabled by a group of senators, aimed to remove Kindiki from his position.
According to reports, an overwhelming majority of 54 senators voted in favor of the motion, effectively ousting Kindiki from his role as Deputy Speaker. This move comes as part of the Jubilee Party's ongoing efforts to reorganize its leadership and address internal conflicts.
The vote was a significant blow to Kindiki, who had been a key figure in the Senate. His removal is seen as a major shake-up in the Jubilee Party's leadership, and it remains to be seen how this development will impact the party's future.
