A three-judge bench on Wednesday dismissed Gachagua's last-minute attempt to stop the Senate debate, allowing the trial to move forward as scheduled.
The impeachment motion, which was overwhelmingly approved by the National Assembly, accuses Gachagua of multiple offenses, including corruption, undermining presidential authority, and involvement in anti-government protests.
The charges include serious allegations of economic crimes and violations of constitutional mandates.
Senate Speaker Amason Kingi confirmed that the trial will take place over two days, with discussions set for Wednesday and Thursday.
The Senate must reach a two-thirds majority to approve the impeachment, marking a historic moment as this is the first time a deputy president in Kenya faces such proceedings since the 2010 constitutional reforms.
Gachagua has denied all allegations against him and claims that the impeachment process lacks fairness.
