It was a difficult Tuesday evening for members of the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) after reports confirmed that one of their politicians had lost his life in a tragic road crash.
According to local sources, the incident caused widespread shock and sadness as colleagues and supporters struggled to accept the sudden passing.
Initial reports show that the politician was behind the wheel of his Toyota Prado V8 when the accident occurred.
A truck that had reportedly lost control is said to have hit his vehicle from the rear. The collision was severe, leaving the car badly damaged and resulting in fatal injuries.
Witnesses recounted that the force of the impact threw him out of the vehicle onto the road. In a further tragic turn, another approaching vehicle was unable to stop in time and ended up running over him. The crash took place in Eldoret, leaving bystanders and motorists deeply disturbed by the scene.
The deceased has been identified as John Luweki, an upcoming politician who had expressed interest in contesting the Uasin Gishu County Member of Parliament seat under the UDA ticket.
His passing has been described as a major blow to his family, supporters, and the political circle at large.
Leaders and acquaintances have begun sending condolence messages, remembering him as a committed and ambitious leader with a promising political future.
As investigations continue, the incident has once again highlighted concerns about road safety and the need to prevent similar tragic accidents.
