Kitui Senator David Musila's mother Alice Kavwea Musila,
95, is dead.
Mama Kavwea
passed on early Sunday morning at the Nairobi hospital.
Senator Musila's son Aron said her grandmother had been ailing for a while.
"She was around 95 years old and
was suffering from complications related to old age. She was admitted
to the hospital about four weeks ago," Aron said on phone.
Only last month,
Musila
ditched Kalonzo's party after he was floored in the Kitui governor's race.
Musila
lost to incumbent Julius
Malombe in the results announced on Wednesday.
Malombe garnered
88,382
votes
while the latter got
74,308.
"I regret that I find my position as chair
untenable. I
have
tendered my resignation as the chair,"
Musila said.
He went ahead to declare that he was not going to support Kalonzo, who he accused of interfering with the Kitui politics.
He claims that he got 81,234 votes against his rival's 70,899 during the Tuesday primaries.
