Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has joined former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i in visiting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to offer condolences following the death of his eldest sister, Eunice Nyangari.
The two leaders visited Gachagua at his Karen home, where they stood with him and his family during this difficult moment.
The visit comes after Gachagua announced the death of his sister, bringing messages of sympathy from political leaders and Kenyans across the country.
Nyangari's death has drawn attention from leaders across the political divide, with several figures expressing their condolences to the grieving family.
Kalonzo and Matiang’i's visit was significant as both leaders have been involved in opposition politics and discussions surrounding the country's political future ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Kalonzo has been actively engaging leaders from different political parties as the opposition continues to explore ways of strengthening its position ahead of the next polls.
Matiang’i has also been involved in political activities, with his name frequently featuring in discussions about the opposition's possible presidential candidates.
Gachagua, who leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has equally continued to mobilise support and engage other opposition leaders following his removal from office in October 2024.
However, the latest visit was primarily about offering comfort and support to a family mourning the loss of a loved one.
Political differences aside, the meeting brought together leaders who have been sharing the opposition political space at a time when the country is gradually moving towards another election season.
The family is now receiving messages of sympathy as it comes to terms with the loss of Eunice Nyangari.
The visit by Kalonzo and Matiang’i adds to the growing list of leaders who have stood with Gachagua during this period of mourning.
