Kasipul’s parliamentary seat was left vacant following the killing of his father, Charles Ong’ondo Were, on April 30.
He was shot and killed by gunmen on motorcycles who attacked his car in Nairobi.
There was excitement as Boyd took the oath of office, with his inauguration a poignant affair, as he walked down the same hall his late father had walked.
What happened at Boyd Were’s inauguration?
Boyd Were was warmly welcomed into Parliament by his family and friends, looking excited as he made his way to the parliament hall.
Dressed in a dark gray striped suit, red tie, matching pocket square, and stylish wristwatch, Boyd exuded confidence. His neat haircut added to his good looks, and marked his debut on the national stage.
Following in his father’s political footsteps, Boyd smiled as he was escorted by the Member of Parliament for Homa Bay Town, Peter Kaluma. As soon as Boyd took his oath, ODM MPs gathered around him, each eager to shake his hand before allowing him to take his seat, perhaps marking the establishment of a precedent in Kenya’s powerful political world.

In the candid moments captured in the photo, Boyd was seen hugging his two mothers, his father’s widows. Both women showed their pride and support as they celebrated the start of Boyd’s political journey.
Boyd’s stepmothers were well-dressed, one wearing a long multi-colored dress and a scarf. Boyd’s other mother was wearing a black suit and animal t-shirt.
The lawmaker’s mother, who was the sister of former Siaya governor Cornel Rasanga, died in 2009. In a heartfelt post, she described the time as one that required humility, reflection, and a renewed commitment to the values that unite society.
