The family of veteran politician and Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition leader Raila Odinga has been plunged into mourning following the death of his sister, Beryl Achieng Odinga.

Beryl Odinga passed away earlier today, Tuesday, November 25, 2025, after a short illness. The news was confirmed by the Odinga family spokesperson, triggering an outpouring of grief and condolences from across the political and social spectrum.

Family and Political Leaders Mourn

The announcement has deeply affected the former Prime Minister, who reportedly received the news with profound sadness. Beryl Achieng Odinga was known for her quiet, supportive presence within the Odinga family structure, preferring to operate away from the national political glare that often surrounds her prominent siblings.

“The family is devastated by this sudden loss,” the spokesperson stated. “Beryl was a pillar of strength, and her counsel and presence will be dearly missed by the entire family, especially the former Prime Minister during this difficult time.”

Political leaders, governors, and members of parliament have swiftly taken to social media to express their shock and send messages of comfort to Mr. Odinga and his extended family. Many recalled Beryl’s dedication to community work and her influential, albeit private, role in the family’s legacy.

Funeral Arrangements Pending

While the family navigates the immediate period of grief, they have requested privacy and respect. Details regarding memorial services and funeral arrangements are expected to be announced later this week.

Beryl Achieng Odinga joins her late brother, Fidel Odinga, and other departed family members, leaving behind a legacy interwoven with one of Kenya’s most prominent political dynasties.
