Azimio leader Raila Odinga has sent heartfelt condolences to Dr. Boaz Cheluget, a 2022 UDA parliamentary aspirant for Ruaraka, following the death of his mother. In a rare show of unity across political lines, Raila described the late Mrs. Cheluget as a resilient and compassionate woman who inspired many in her community.
“A mother is the heart of a home and the silent anchor of every family. Her passing leaves an irreplaceable void,” Raila said, urging Kenyans to put humanity before politics during times of grief.
The late Mrs. Cheluget was a respected political mobilizer and ODM point woman in Uasin Gishu County. Known for championing grassroots democracy and development, her influence transcended party boundaries.
Dr. Cheluget, who contested on a UDA ticket in an opposition stronghold, is widely admired for his intellectual depth and humility. His mother’s passing has triggered messages of sympathy from both Kenya Kwanza and Azimio leaders.
“She was my greatest inspiration,” Dr. Cheluget said. “Her faith, humility, and strength shaped my life.”
The funeral is expected to draw leaders from both sides of the political divide in a show of solidarity and respect.
As the nation grieves with the Cheluget family, Raila’s gesture has sparked praise, reminding Kenyans that compassion must rise above rivalry.
“In moments like these, we are reminded that despite our differences, we are one people,” Raila affirmed.
