High Court Clears Way for Retired Presidents to Engage in Active Politics

22nd September, 2026

President William Ruto’s increasingly bitter political exchanges with his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, have taken on a new legal dimension after the High Court declared unconstitutional the law that restricts retired presidents from holding political-party office and allows Parliament to interfere with their retirement benefits.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye's judgment comes barely a week after another High Court judge, Justice Lawrence Mugambi, upheld the same restriction, creating a rare conflict in judicial interpretation over former presidents' political rights.
