Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has withdrawn two petitions he filed last year to challenge his impeachment by parliament, saying they had been overtaken by events.
Gachagua's legal team on Thursday, May 15, applied to the High Court, seeking to withdraw the pre-impeachment petitions that the new Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader filed in October last year.
He had filed the cases seeking to stop the National Assembly and the Senate from impeaching him following a special impeachment motion that sought Gachagua's dismissal on 11 grounds.
The former DP withdrew the two pre-impeachment petitions on Friday to focus on the post-impeachment suit currently under consideration by the High Court.
