Kenyan Lawmaker Outlines Strategy to Impeach President Following 2027 Elections
Nairobi, 10 October 2026
Kenyan MP Caleb Amisi aims to secure 233 parliamentary seats in 2027, creating a legislative majority to impeach President William Ruto or any leader who abuses executive power.
Parliamentary Strategy and Opposition Disunity
On 9 October 2026, Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi detailed an ambitious electoral roadmap for his People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM) ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election [1][2]. Addressing current political realignments, Amisi warned that strategic errors and persistent disunity within opposition ranks significantly heighten the probability of President William Ruto securing re-election [1][2]. To establish a legislative counterweight to executive authority, the PRM leader stated that his party is targeting 233 seats in the National Assembly, aiming to secure the legal threshold required to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Ruto immediately following any potential second-term inauguration [1][2].
Institutional Accountability Beyond 2027
The PRM leader emphasized that his legislative strategy is designed as a institutional check on presidential authority regardless of who occupies State House [1][2]. Amisi explicitly warned prominent political figures—including Kalonzo Musyoka, Edwin Sifuna, David Maraga, and Rigathi Gachagua—that a PRM-led parliamentary majority would move to impeach any future head of state who abuses power, violates citizens’ rights, or fails to execute constitutional duties [1][2].
