Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has strongly cautioned Kenyans against supporting leaders who have been impeached, saying the Constitution is very clear that such individuals cannot hold any public office.
Speaking during media briefing, Kioni explained that impeachment is not just a political process but a constitutional judgment that permanently disqualifies one from leading.
He noted that many citizens do not fully understand the consequences of impeachment, which is why some leaders who have faced the process still attempt to return to active politics.
“If we had proper civic education in this country, people would know what impeachment really means. Once you are impeached, the law does not allow you to seek any public office again. It is not just about losing one seat; it is about being declared unfit to lead,” Kioni said.
Although he did not mention names directly, his remarks came just a day after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said he would still contest the presidency in 2027 despite his impeachment record.
