The letter, however, was quickly dismissed by his team for lacking the official signature and seals required for such an announcement.
Insiders from both the offices of President William Ruto and Gachagua confirmed the rumors were baseless, with the Deputy President still holding firm amid an intense political and legal battle.
Gachagua’s legal team, led by veteran lawyer Paul Muite, has already filed motions to challenge the impeachment in court, seeking to have the case heard by a panel of three judges.
