Relief for Uhuru as High Court Rules on Retired Presidents’ Political Activities

The High Court ruled that retired presidents are not barred from engaging in active politics, declaring the restriction unconstitutional, allowing Uhuru Kenyatta to participate in political activities. This decision comes after another court barred retired presidents from holding positions in a political party. Meanwhile, COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli has called for constitutional rules to regulate the political activities of retired presidents.
