Former Uriri MP Cyprian Omollo Ojwang, who has been campaigning to return to Parliament, has died.

His son Josiah Ayieko confirmed that the politician died Friday morning: “It is with deep regret that I inform you of the death of the former MP at the Nairobi Hospital.”

Migori Governor Okoth Obado sent his condolence message to the family, terming him a “selfless servant leader.”
