Thousands of Kenyans are converging at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) on Friday, November 1, 2024 for the historic inauguration of Professor Kithure Kindiki as the new Deputy President of Kenya. An estimated 10,000 attendees, including government officials and ordinary citizens, are expected to participate in this momentous event, which has begun at 10 AM.
From the early hours of the morning, enthusiastic crowds started arriving at KICC, eagerly anticipating the swearing-in ceremony. The venue was prepared to accommodate 3,000 seated guests, while an additional 7,000 supporters will stand to show their backing for the new Deputy President.
In light of the significant turnout, security measures have been intensified around KICC, with police and security personnel deployed to ensure the safety of all attendees. This event follows a pivotal High Court ruling on Thursday that lifted a prior order blocking Kindiki's swearing-in, which had been put in place after the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
A notice from Mercy Wanjau, Secretary to the Cabinet, confirmed the event details, while Felix Koskei, Head of Public Service, announced the committee members tasked with organizing the ceremony.
