The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has condoled with the family of Chemundu/Kapngetuny Member of County Assembly Julius Keter.

Keter, who also doubled up as the Majority Whip, died on April 12, 2025.

The party described the county legislator as a dependable diehard.

“The UDA Party sends its sincere condolences to the family of the late Hon. Julius Kipruto Keter, the Nandi County Assembly Majority Whip and Member of County Assembly of Chemundu/Kapngetuny ward, who passed on April 12, 2025.

“UDA extends its sympathies for the loss of a son, father, husband, breadwinner, and a dependable party diehard.

We stand with the family as they come to terms with this loss. On behalf of the entire party, leadership accept our heartfelt condolences,” UDA said.

Keter had been unwell for about three weeks, according to the Nandi County assembly speaker, Philemon Melly.

He died at the Fountain Hospital in Eldoret, where he was undergoing treatment on Saturday at around 8:30 am.

The speaker described Keter as a legend, a true servant of the people who dedicated his life to the betterment of his people.

“His tireless work, unwavering commitment and genuine love for the community will be cherished," he said.

Keter was first elected as the ward representative for Chemundu/Kapng'etuny in 2022.

“Keter was not just a colleague but a friend and a true servant of the people. His unwavering commitment to uplifting the lives of his constituents, his humility and his calm, thoughtful leadership will be missed”.

Sang said Keter stood firm in advocating for development and was a strong voice in the assembly.
