As it is commonly said, there are no permanent enemies in politics. And that is exactly what was witnessed on Thursday after United Democratic Alliance’s Manyatta Constituency aspirant Cecily Mbarire visited her political rival and MP John Muchiri who is receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital.

Nominated MP Mbarire’s visit comes days after she faced and beat Muchiri – a person she plans to unseat from the MP seat in the August general election – in the highly contested UDA nominations.

Muchiri is admitted in the hospital after undergoing a surgical procedure on his leg.

Following the visit, the two shared photos of them having a chat as Mbarire checked on Muchiri’s wellbeing.

Another person who visited Muchiri on the hospital bed is UDA party leader Deputy President William Ruto who wished the ailing lawmaker a quick recovery.

“Quick recovery Manyatta MP John Muchiri,” DP Ruto said after the visit.
