Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s personality has been described as suave and measured, in contrast to his outspoken and tough-talking predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua.

It is argued that Kindiki’s approach will be more fitting, as, when serving an outspoken and aggressive president, the deputy needs to be more measured and non-combative to create a balanced dynamic within the presidency.
