Suna West Member of Parliament Peter Masara is grieving after the passing of his son, Hillary. The heartbreaking news was confirmed by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on Monday, June 30, 2025.
In an official statement, the ODM party expressed deep sorrow and extended condolences to the legislator and his family.
The party acknowledged Hillary’s passing as a painful loss not only to Masara’s household but to the wider community that stands with him.
“We commiserate with Hon. Peter Masara, MP for Suna West, for the loss of his beloved son Hillary,” the statement read. ODM described the late Hillary as a bright young man whose potential had inspired many.
Although the cause of Hillary’s death has not yet been made public, ODM leaders and close friends of the family have pledged to offer support during this difficult time. The party called on Kenyans to join them in praying for peace and comfort for Masara and his loved ones.
The news of Hillary’s death sent a wave of sorrow across the political class, with several leaders taking to social media to express sympathy. ODM members at both the county and national levels have rallied behind their colleague in solidarity.
Peter Masara, known for his active participation in parliamentary affairs, has served Suna West since his election. He has maintained a close connection with his constituents and is regarded as a dedicated leader within ODM ranks.
The tragic event is expected to momentarily pause the MP’s political engagements. Leaders from Nyanza and beyond are expected to visit the family and offer their condolences in person.
As messages of support continue to pour in, the ODM fraternity has urged the public to respect the family’s privacy as they mourn. Plans for Hillary’s burial are expected to be communicated in due course.
This tragedy serves as a reminder of the shared human experiences that bind leaders and citizens alike. The entire ODM family stands united with Masara in mourning a life gone too soon.
