President William Ruto has visited the family of Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Karen, following his sudden demise.
In photos shared on social media, Ruto, who was joined by other senior government officials, looked deeply hurt by Raila’s death.
He was seen in deep thoughts, perhaps trying to come to terms with the sad news.
Raila died while receiving treatment at a hospital in India.
He was walking with family members and a personal doctor “when he suddenly collapsed”. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
In recent weeks, there has been speculation about his health, although family members and political allies had dismissed reports suggesting he was critically ill.
Politicians and other leaders, including Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, have been sending their condolences.
A political mobiliser and towering figure in Kenyan politics, Odinga ran unsuccessfully for the presidency five times. He rejected the results on each occasion, often saying that victory had been stolen from him.
