The story of politician Isaac Mwaura and his designer wife Nelius Mukami is a sad one. The young couple, they experienced a double tragedy.

Mwaura and his wife welcomed triplets; two boys and a girl early last year but all didn't go well.

The couple lost a boy and a girl during the Jubilee Party nominations but kept the news under wraps. Mwaura unfortunately also lost in the elections and he took to social media to share the sad news.

His message read:

I went ahead to vie for Ruiru parliamentary seat, suffered political violence and eventually lost the election. Some people thought that I was down and out. Others even celebrated!.

Mukami and I even lost two of our triplets (a boy and a girl) and we were left with only one son and a hospital bill of 11.2 million to clear not forgetting that we were in the middle of party primary campaigns. It was really tough but we kept the faith.

The nominated Senator and his wife are strong parents and their only remaining child turned a year old a few months old. Mrs. Mwaura has shared photos of their all grown son and in a lengthy post, she revealed that his survival was a miracle. She wrote:

Born at 28 weeks, Njiru who is a surviving triplet has shown immense strength and great will power to live. His survival was a miracle. He spent 10 weeks in the neonatal ICU where he was a breath of fresh air to the nurses and his doctors. He survived Pneumonia at the tender age of 5 weeks old. Njiru continues to be the brightest star always active and working to achieve his milestones. Though he is still tiny in frame and a bit underweight for his age, he has always managed to be ahead; Learning how to climb stairs before he even learnt how to walk. His milestones have been slow but that does not pull him down. Njiru continues to be an inspiration to many people especially preemie mums. He has shown that the greatest gifts come in the smallest packages.
