Focus now shifts to President Uhuru Kenyatta and the constitutional court after Nairobi County Governor Mike Sonko was barred from office.
Yesterday, Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti ordered Sonko, who is facing a Sh380 million graft case, to stay away from office. The directive triggered a leadership crisis at City Hall, given Sonko does not have a deputy to act as governor for the time he will be on trial.
