Cord principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula were conspicuously absent at the burial ceremony of Lucy Kibaki. Raila's seat remained vacant during the session of the final rites for the former First Lady. It was reserved at the VIP section of the main dais, an indication that he was expected at the ceremony to mourn with former President Mwai Kibaki’s family. The two ran a coalition government between 2008 and 2013 in the aftermath of a heavily contested election. Unlike Wednesday when the Opposition boss attended the requiem mass at Consolata Shrine church, Westlands, majority of his supporters did not turn up for the funeral. Wetangula and Kalonzo instead attended a burial ceremony of the late Charles Mutui, a former councilor and Wiper activist in Mivukoni, Mwingi North constituency, Kitui County. Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) deputy party leader Wycliffe Oparanya, who is also Kakamega governor, was in attendance though was not given a chance to address the mourners.
