The Orange Democratic Movement party has sent condolences to Changamwe MP Omar Mwinyi and his family following the death of his wife.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Raila Odinga-led party expressed its solidarity by standing together with Mwinyi during these hard times.

“Pole sana Hon Omar Mwinyi – MP for Changamwe for the loss of your beloved wife Mama Rikiya Khatib Ali,” the statement reads.

“We mourn with you and your family at this very difficult moment of grief and pray to Allah to grant you peace during these trying times.” The cause of death of Mama Khatib Ali was however, not revealed.

In the August 2022 general elections, ODM won five of six parliamentary seats in Mombasa county after it regained the Kisauni parliamentary seat, previously held by the Wiper party to bond  the county as a party stronghold. The party clinched Jomvu, Changamwe, Kisauni, Likoni and Mvita Constituencies while UDA won Nyali.
