Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been impeached by the Kenyan Senate in a historic decision.

The upper house vote and impeached the 59-year-old on five charges out of eleven. The hearings lasted for two days.

All it took was one charge for the Senate to get rid of him.

It’s the final stretch. With less than 3 weeks to go before the American presidential election, the candidates are doubling their efforts to convince voters.

While Kamala Harris gave an interview to Fox News (the Republican camp’s favorite channel), Donald Trump, for his part, answered questions from Latino voters gathered in Miami.

On October 16, while the Republican candidate was facing a crowd of voters, he said that the attack on the Capitol, led by supporters of the former President of the United States and which cost the lives of 5 people, was a “day of love”.

The lawyer for Mozambique’s leading opposition candidate Venancio Mondlane, who ran for president in October 9 elections, was gunned down in Maputo on Saturday.

The lawyer, Elvino Dias, was killed with another candidate, Paulo Guambe, from the Podemos party backing Mondlane. Two gunmen shot up their car while it was immobile on a road in the centre of the capital, witnesses said.

Podemos head Albino Forquilha confirmed the killings to AFP, while the national lawyers’ association expressed “deep shock” at Dias’s death.

A civil society observer group, Mais Integridade, called the “repugnant” murders an “act of intimidation” undermining democracy.

Police said an investigation had been started but did not immediately confirm the identities of the two slain men.

Mozambique is awaiting official nationwide results from the elections. They are due to be published on October 24.

Mondlane, who mounted a challenge to the Frelimo party that has ruled Mozambique since its independence 49 years ago, claimed victory almost immediately after polling day.

He has alleged electoral fraud as Frelimo claims to be leading in the ballot counts, and has called for demonstrations on Monday.
