Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has been handed a lifeline after the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) MCAs agreed to suspend the impeachment process against him.
The Orange party, which holds a majority of members in the City Assembly, held a closed-door meeting attended by ODM leader Raila Odinga, veteran politician Fred Gumo, and city legislators.
The meeting, chaired by Makadara MP George Aladwa, came after weeks of tension in Nairobi's county assembly, where a section of MCAs had collected enough signatures to trigger Sakaja's removal.
The legislators had accused the governor of failing to deliver on services, mismanaging resources, and sidelining elected leaders in decision-making.
