According to information circulating online, the vocal politician has been battling an undisclosed health condition for some time before his situation reportedly worsened in recent days.

A viral video that has since spread on different social media platforms showed the politician appearing weak while interacting with close friends and family members using hand gestures, something that sparked emotional reactions among Kenyans.

The heartbreaking development has triggered an outpouring of prayers and messages of support from Kenyans, with many hoping that the ODM politician will recover soon and regain his speech.
Several leaders and supporters have already taken to social media to send encouraging messages to the lawmaker, describing him as a hardworking and fearless leader who has always stood with ordinary wananchi.

As the video continues to circulate online, Kenyans remain hopeful that Wanyonyi Ferdinand will successfully receive treatment and return back to the country in good health.
