KISUMU, Kenya March 23 \u2013 Former Kisumu Town West MP, Rev. Kenn Nyagudi, has passed away after a long illness.<\/p>\n
Former Nyakach MP Peter Odoyo announced his death, stating that Nyagudi died on Sunday evening while receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital\u2019s private wing.<\/p>\n
Nyagudi was elected in a 2004 by-election following the death of Joab Omino in January of the same year. He served the remainder of the term but lost the 2007 election to Olago Aluoch.<\/p>\n
During his tenure, Kisumu Town West remained intact until the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC), led by Andrew Ligale, split it into Kisumu Central and Kisumu West constituencies.<\/p>\n
In the 2013 elections, after the adoption of the new constitution, Nyagudi contested the Kisumu Central MP seat but lost to political newcomer Ken Obura.<\/p>\n
Following his exit from politics, Nyagudi ventured into business and largely stayed out of the public eye.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
