The wife of Nderitu Mathenge, former Gilgil MP, has died.
Leah Nderitu is said to have been ailing before she died in a Nairobi hospital on Friday.
Family sources said they took time before talking to the media to let close family members mourn in peace.
The jovial Leah was known for her passion in education where she pushed for several projects to promote education in the constituency.
Her husband lost his seat in the 2017 election to Martha Wangari in the hotly contested Jubilee primaries.
He then ran as an Independent but lost too.
