Kenyan MP Charles Were shot dead in Nairobi

Kenyan lawmaker Charles Were, representing the Kasipul constituency in western Kenya, was shot dead in Nairobi on Wednesday night by two gunmen on a motorcycle, with one assailant shooting him at close range. His driver survived the attack, and Were was pronounced dead at the hospital. The killing, reported by multiple local media outlets, has shocked the nation and intensified public calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. Were was a member of the opposition ODM party, led by Raila Odinga, who has previously challenged the legitimacy of President William Ruto's election but later agreed to work together on national issues.
