Another former MP is dead
Former Bonchari Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Zebedeo John Opore is dead
Former Bonchari Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Zebedeo John Opore is dead.
Confirming the death on Friday, October 18, nominated Senator Esther Okenyuri mourned the late former lawmaker as a true champion who had respect for both young and old.
Okenyuri further noted that Opore demonstrated unshakeable commitment to his constituents by championing for their interests during his tenure.
“It is with profound sadness that I have learnt of the passing on of former Bonchari Constituency Member of Parliament Zebedeo John Opore.
“Throughout his illustrious political career, he demonstrated unshakeable commitment to his constituents by championing for their interests in and out of Parliament. He held deepest respect for both young and old. The people of Bonchari have lost a true champion and Kenya has lost a voice of reason with the passing of Opore,” Okenyuri remarked.
In 2013, the late former lawmaker was elected as the MP for Bonchari Constituency in a by-election, having previously served in the same position in 1997.
Opore was elected on a Ford People party ticket after the Court of Appeal nullified the election of John Oyioka.
He later lost the Bonchari by-election in March 2021, where he ran under the Jubilee Party ticket.
