A Double Blow for the UDA Party
The tragic death of Wahito comes just days after UDA lost another MCA, Philip Ekuwam Lomuria, from Turkana County.
Lomuria, who was the Deputy Speaker of the Turkana County Assembly, died while receiving treatment in hospital under unclear circumstances.
In a statement, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar paid tribute:
“Until his death, Lomuria… was a staunch and dedicated member of the UDA Party,” Omar said. “He exhibited zeal in undertaking his duties as a legislator at the County Assembly.”
The two back-to-back losses have left the UDA party and Kenyans in shock. Colleagues, constituents, and citizens have flooded social media with tributes and calls for road safety reforms.
