Kericho Governor Erick Mutai survived impeachment after 34 Senators voted to support a preliminary objection raised by his defense

Lawyer Katwa Kigen, leading the governor's defence, told the Senate that the two-thirds threshold had not been met when the County Assembly impeached him.

The Senate got into a debate based on that technicality and finally voted with a result of 10 Senators opposing the preliminary objection.
