On Wednesday, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party was hit with another sad loss after one of its politicians reportedly collapsed and died while receiving treatment in hospital.
According to reports, Bungoma MP aspirant Michael Obujo had been admitted to hospital since Sunday, where he was undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness.
Sadly, when his wife visited him on Wednesday, she shared with him the shocking news that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga had passed away.
Moments after hearing the sad news, Michael is said to have collapsed in his hospital bed. Doctors who attended to him confirmed that he suffered a severe shock, which caused his heart to stop beating.
Despite efforts to save his life, he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. “He was deeply attached to Raila Odinga and could not handle the heartbreaking news,” one of the doctors said.
The news of his sudden death has left many Kenyans in deep sorrow. Friends, family, and ODM supporters have been sending messages of condolence, describing him as a humble man who was determined to bring change and development to his constituency.
Many have also expressed sadness that both Raila and Obujo, two strong voices in ODM, are gone within a short time.
May his soul rest in peace.
