Members of the National Assembly Tuesday evening voted to send Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua packing in a precedent-setting move under the 2010 Constitution.
 
A total of 282 lawmakers voted in favour of the motion against 44 who wanted Mr Gachagua to stay. The votes represented a reduction of 10 compared to 291 MPs who initially signed up in support of the motion. This is how the lawmakers voted.
