Nyamo died on the morning of his birthday, marking a poignant and heartbreaking moment for his family, friends, and constituents.
His death was confirmed by close family members and later acknowledged publicly by Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula, who shared a tribute on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“It is with deep sadness that I have learned of the passing of Hon. Thombe Nyamo, a former colleague and friend. A man of laughter, compassion, and service. May his soul rest in peace,” Wetang’ula wrote.
Nyamo served as Tetu MP during a politically dynamic period and was known for his charismatic personality, often lightening tense moments in Parliament with his signature humor — a trait that earned him the nickname “Fun Times.” He championed various development projects in his constituency, particularly in education and rural electrification, and remained an active voice in civic matters even after leaving active politics.
News of his passing on his birthday has struck a somber tone across the political landscape, with many describing the coincidence as both tragic and symbolic — a full circle of life.
Messages of condolence have poured in from political leaders, former colleagues, and citizens who remembered him not just as a politician, but as a man who connected deeply with people.
Plans for his funeral and memorial service are underway, with the family expected to release details soon. Thombe Nyamo is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
