Kenya faces a potential constitutional crisis as the country lacks both a substantive deputy president and a functional electoral commission, raising concerns about succession and governance.

Both the National Assembly and the Senate recently impeached Rigathi Gachagua as the deputy president, while the newly nominated DP, Kithure Kindiki, has yet to be sworn in.
