Fourteen petitioners have moved to court seeking orders to pave the way for a referendum to oust President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua from office over alleged violation of the Constitution, incompetence, and lack of public trust.

In the lawsuit lodged at the Milimani High Court by Kenya Bora Tuitakayo Citizens Union, activists Cyprian Nyamwamu and Khelef Khalifa, Janet Muthoni, Captain Paul Rukaria, Prof Fred Ogolla, and nine others sought 34 prayers including a finding that the duo has failed to serve Kenyans diligently.
