The fatal shooting of an opposition in Kenya seems to have been a targeted murder, the police said.

Charles Ong'ondo was shot on Wednesday evening after his vehicle stopped in the capital Nairobi on the NGong Road.

The police said spectators experienced the passenger of a motorcycle fire on the MP's car while it was stopped at the intersection.

Kenya Zeitung Daily Nation reported that “openly complained that his life was in danger”.

The Kenyan President William Ruto, who was allied with the middle-right-United Democratic Alliance, expressed his condolences to the family and the people in Kasipul.

“We ask the police to carry out a thorough investigation of this incident,” said Ruto to X.

“Those responsible must be held accountable.”

Former Prime Minister Raila Oding, who founded the orange democratic movement, said Kenya lost a “brave son of the soil”.

Odinga questioned the results of the 2022 elections after he had lost against Ruto, and in a petition to the Supreme Court claimed that the survey had been spoiled by “intentional illegal and criminal subversion”.

In March, Odinga and Ruto signed a memorandum of Understanding to work together in a “broad government”.
