On Thursday evening, a politician identified as Johnson Avenje, who has been supporting Rigathi Gachagua, was involved in a bad accident in Luanda, Vihiga County, where, after being rushed to the hospital, at the entrance, he was pronounced dead.
As reported by Vihiga News, Avenje was taking off home after attending a wedding ceremony of his stepbrother, and on his way home, a matatu car hit his car, causing it to collide, leaving him and his driver sustaining bad injuries.
As said by the eyewitness, immediately after the accident, the owner of the Matatu attempted to flee, but the residents approached him, removing the keys from the car and tightening his hands until the police officers surpassed the zone, where they arrested him.
“He wanted to run away, but the residents attacked him; they surrendered him to the police officers,” an eyewitness told the journalists.
In Vihiga County, Kenyans are mourning the sudden death of Avenje, who was the top politician who was loved by the people.
In 2022, he vied for the MCA seats, but he didn’t gain a victory. He has been supporting Gachagua in the county, and when he was impeached, he led the demonstrations in Mbale County, asking the government to block the impeachment of Gachagua.
