Kalonzo Rushes to Gachagua’s Home With Powerful Bible Message After Painful Family Loss

Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has led a delegation to the home of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to mourn the death of his elder sister, Eunice Nyangari Gachagua.

In a statement, Kalonzo addressed Gachagua, his wife Rev. Dorcas Rigathi and the entire family, urging them to take comfort in Matthew 5:4, which says those who mourn are blessed and will be comforted.

“I stand with you during this difficult period as you mourn the passing of your beloved Mama Eunice Nyangari Gachagua,” he said.

“May you find comfort in knowing that her 77 years of life were a blessing to her family and all who knew her.”

Kalonzo also prayed that Almighty God would grant the family strength, comfort and peace, and that Mama Eunice would rest in eternal peace.

Kalonzo said he was accompanied by a Wiper Patriotic Front delegation comprising Hon. Mohamed Ali, whom he named as the party’s deputy leader, Hon. Danson Mwashako, Hon. Eng. Thaddeus Nzambia, Hon. Musili Mawathe and Hon. Irene Kasalu.

Eunice died in Naro Moru on Thursday, November 5, aged 77.

Gachagua announced her death, describing her as the family’s firstborn, and extended his condolences to her children, Waithera and Murimi, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the wider Reriani family.

The visit adds to a stream of leaders who have called on Gachagua since the family announced the death, among them Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i.

Kalonzo and Gachagua are co-principals in the United Opposition, which is working to build a united front against President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.

Wiper has previously said it remains committed to working with other opposition parties under the United Alternative Government in Waiting.

Kalonzo and Gachagua have previously joined forces at condolence visits, including one in Machakos with ODM leader Oburu Oginga to console Senator Agnes Kavindu over the loss of her son.

The visit comes as the opposition works to settle on a joint candidate.
