Former Kisumu West Member of Parliament Kenn Nyagudi has passed away after battling a long illness.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula confirmed his demise on his official X account on Sunday, March 24.
According to the speaker, the former MP passed on on Sunday while undergoing treatment at the Kenyatta National Hospital's private wing.
"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 said.
"He passed away this evening while undergoing treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. May his family be consoled and find comfort in the Lord’s arms," he added.
The former MP was elected for the first time in 2004 during a by-election following the demise of Joab Omino in January of the same year.
The MP served for four years until he lost the seat during the 2007 election to Olago Aluoch.
Five years later, Nyagudi once again contested for the Kisumu Central MP seat but he lost the seat to Ken Obura.
Nyagudi's demise comes almost a month after former Baringo North MP Willy Rotich Kamuren passed away while receiving treatment in Nairobi on Friday, February 28.
Kamuren was a prominent politician and businessman known for his contributions to Baringo County's politics.
Kamuren began his political career in 1963, becoming the first Member of Parliament (MP) for Baringo East, now Tiaty Constituency, under the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU) ticket.
He was later nominated to Parliament in 1983 and served as elected MP for Baringo North Constituency from 1988 to 1997 under the Kenyan African National Union (KANU).
