Former Kisumu Town West MP Rev. Kenn Nyagudi
Former Kisumu Town West MP Rev. Kenn Nyagudi has died while undergoing treatment at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula in a statement shared via his official social media accounts announced that Nyagudi died on the evening of Sunday, March 23, 2025.
Wetang’ula stated that he had interacted with the deceased when he was serving as the Foreign Affairs Minister.
“I send my heartfelt sympathies to the family of former Kisumu Town West MP Rev. Kenn Nyagudi. I was privileged to have interacted with him when I was the Foreign Affairs Minister. He died this evening while undergoing treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. Hon Nyagudi was elected for the first time during the by-election of 2004 after the death of Hon Joab Omino. May his family be consoled and find comfort in the Lord’s arms. May his soul rest in peace,” Wetang’ula stated.
Former Nyakach MP Peter Odoyo has also stated that Nyagudi met his death while at KNH’s private wing, where he had been admitted.
The late was first elected in 2004 by-election following the death of Joab Omino in January of the same year. He served the remainder of the term but lost the 2007 election to Olago Aluoch.
During his tenure, Kisumu Town West remained intact until the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC), led by Andrew Ligale, split it into Kisumu Central and Kisumu West constituencies.
In the 2013 elections, after the adoption of the new constitution, Nyagudi contested the Kisumu Central MP seat but lost to political newcomer Ken Obura.
Following his exit from politics, Nyagudi ventured into business and largely stayed out of the public eye.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
