Whipped to submission: Ruto, Raila save Sakaja as MCAs suspend impeachment bid
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja (centre) leaves the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation Centre after a meeting with ODM Nairobi County Assembly members on September 2, 2025.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja secured a political lifeline on Tuesday after President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga separately convinced Nairobi MCAs to suspend plans to impeach him, urging the county boss to put his house in order.
The deal followed parallel meetings — one convened by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) at State House and another by ODM at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation Center.
