A Nakuru voter, Peter Kuria Mwaniki, has filed a petition in the High Court seeking the removal of Governor Susan Kihika from office, alleging that she holds dual citizenship, which contravenes Article 78(2) of the Kenyan Constitution. Mwaniki cites Kihika's past role as an Assistant District Attorney in Dallas County, Texas—a position reserved for U.S. citizens—as evidence of her American citizenship.
