The concluded edition of the 2025 Interparliamentary Games saw the members from Kenya showcasing their sporting excellence.

The annual games provided a rare glimpse of the MPs’ and senators’ passion for sports.

 The standout performances included Kenya powering to a strong victory in athletics and a gold medal haul in the volleyball discipline.

Kenyan lawmakers clinched gold in the 4x400m relay, 100m sprint, and 800m courtesy of Kacheliba MP Titus Lotee and Busia women’s representative Catherine Omanyo.

People Daily Digital has compiled a list of the outstanding individual members from the games:

Dan Wanyama: The former volleyball star stunned Ugandans with his powerful spikes and all-around display that mirrored his former trade as a professional volleyballer.  

Among the cruising wins of the volleyball team are the sweeping 3–0 set wins over Rwanda and the 3–1 set win over Uganda.

Volleyball win

Against Uganda, Wanyama left Ugandan MPs wondering what business a ‘professional player’ had in a match reserved for members.

Other members of the triumphant volleyball team were Paul Nzengu, Brighton Yegon, Duncan Maina, Victor Koech Mandazi, Alfred Mutai, Josses Lelmengit, Jackson Mandago, Robert Basil, Seki Ole Lenku, and newly elected UDA senator for Baringo, Vincent Chemitei.

Omanyo rules

The Busia County Woman Representative, Hon. Catherine Omanyo, not only starred on the offensive line of the basketball team but also doubled up as a sprinter.

Omanyo bagged Kenya’s gold medal in the 100 m races, finishing ahead of host Ugandan MP Auma and Mukabalisa of Rwanda, who came third.

Phylis Bartoo: The Moiben MP is another excellent member of the parliamentary athletics team. A true sports enthusiast, she competed in various women’s races.

Bartoo earned silver in the 1500 m with a time of 8:37.8 and also competed in the 400 m race, where she was placed fourth with a time of 1:55.1.

She was among the few athletes recognised by the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) following their respective performances.

Bartoo later took to her social media to express her elation.

“Proud to have been among athletes from the Parliament of Kenya that clinched top medals in the games held at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Namboole,” she said. 

Otiende Amollo: The Bunge FC skipper provided two assists as Kenya beat Burundi on Friday, December 12, 2025, to finish second behind Uganda in football games.

 The team also boasted the talents of Allan Chesang, Kitutu Chache MP Anthony Kibagendi, and Aaron Cheruiyot, who bagged a stunner against Burundi on Friday.

Titus Lotee: The Kacheliba MP accounted for two gold medals won by Kenya.

 He was a part of Team Kenya’s Parliamentary 4x400m relay team, powered to gold on the second day of the athletics program, posting 4:19.8 on Thursday, December 11, 2025.

His teammates in the race included the quartet of Dan Wanyama (Webuye West), Mukunji Gitonga (Manyatta), and Joshua Kandie (Baringo Central).

The MP also added another gold with a commanding run in the 800m, finishing in 2:28.9, and a silver medal in the men’s 1500m with a close 5:24.0 behind Acan Julius, who ran 5:23.5.

Vincent Musyoka (Mwala), the Bunge Sports Club co-chairperson, inspired Team Kenya to the men’s 4x400m relay, clinching gold in an impressive 50.8 seconds. He teamed up with David Ochieng, Dan Wanyama, and Bernard Kitur, securing Kenya’s first major triumph of the day.

Musyoka also bagged silver in the men’s 100m, clocking 12.6 seconds, finishing just behind sprint star Bernard Kitur, who struck gold in 11.8 seconds.

Special mention for the Kenya Darts team led by Westland MP Tim Wanyonyi and Janet Sitienei, for the athletes who are abled differently.

 Jackson Kosgei won two matches, and Sitienei won one match, as did Wanyonyi and Harold Kipchumba.
