PHOTOS: Babu Owino Visits Rigathi Gachagua to Console Him Following Sister Eunice’s Death

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has visited former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his Karen residence to offer condolences following the death of his elder sister, Eunice Nyangari Gachagua.

The visit comes at a difficult moment for the Gachagua family, which is mourning the loss of a family member who played an important role in keeping them together.

Gachagua announced the death of his sister on Friday, November 6, revealing that she passed away in Naro Moru at the age of 77.

In his emotional tribute, the former Deputy President described Eunice as a mother figure who had taken care of the family following the death of their mother seven years ago.

He praised her for providing guidance, warmth and support to her younger siblings, adding that her absence would leave a significant gap in the family.

Babu’s visit is among the gestures of support extended to the former Deputy President as he and his relatives come to terms with the loss.

The Embakasi East MP has previously interacted with Gachagua on several occasions, particularly during engagements involving opposition leaders seeking political cooperation ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Their interactions have attracted public attention, with both politicians appearing alongside other opposition figures during meetings and political activities.

The latest visit also comes against the backdrop of growing political conversations surrounding possible cooperation among opposition leaders.

However, the immediate purpose of Babu’s visit was to stand with Gachagua during his moment of grief.

Kenyans have continued sending messages of condolences to the former Deputy President and his family following the announcement of Eunice’s death.

The family is expected to continue receiving friends, political leaders and other well-wishers as preparations to honour the deceased’s life continue.
