I stood with family, friends and fellow leaders to condole with my dear friend and sister, Council of Governors CEO Mary Mwiti, on the passing of her beloved mother, the late Mama Josephine Kagwiria Guantai, whose life was defined by faith, love and selflessness.
Alongside colleague Governors and other national leaders, we extend our sincere condolences during this difficult time. Fare thee well Mama Josephine; your love, kindness and devotion will remain your greatest legacy, forever cherished by all who knew you. #RIP

UDA today held repeat grassroots elections sensitization forums across Kirinyaga Central, Gichugu, Ndia and Mwea, affirming that we are a truly people-centred party that listens and responds. Following members’ call for greater involvement and civic education, the party took the process back to the ground. The huge turnout once again confirms that Kirinyaga stands firmly with @UDAKenya and the Kenya Kwanza Government as we strengthen our structures from the grassroots. #KaziNiKazi #UDA #Tutam

Kenya and Africa have lost one of their most distinguished sons, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, whose courage, vision, and steadfast commitment to justice transformed our nation’s political landscape. His journey was one of resilience, sacrifice, and deep love for country, a life devoted to expanding freedom, equality, and opportunity for all. His voice and ideals will forever remain part of Kenya’s democratic story.
We grieve his passing and pray that his legacy continues to inspire generations to come. My heartfelt condolences to Mama @IdaOdinga, the Odinga family, and all Kenyans mourning this great loss. May his soul rest in eternal peace. #RIP
