Malava at Standstill as United Luhya Leaders Rally, Khalwale Speaks Out During By-Elections

The town of Malava came to a near standstill yesterday as a host of United Luhya leaders converged to campaign ahead of the ongoing Seth Panyako by-election.

The high-profile rally drew large crowds, with roads filled with supporters eager to hear the leaders’ messages.

Khalwale addressed residents, emphasizing the need for development-focused leadership that prioritizes local issues over political rivalry.

“I have spoken directly with the former DP, and we are committed to ensuring Malava gets leaders who will serve the people,” a party official said.

Senator Khalwale, speaking at the same rally, urged residents to support candidates who understand their challenges and are willing to take bold steps to improve their lives.

“Malava deserves leadership that listens, acts, and does not shy away from standing up for the people. We are here to ensure that happens,” Khalwale told the cheering crowd.

The rally also featured other Luhya leaders, who highlighted the importance of unity within the community and the need for strong representation at the county assembly.

Political analysts note that such high-profile interventions are likely to influence voter sentiment and turnout, especially in closely contested by-elections like the one in Malava.

Residents expressed hope that the by-election will bring transformative leadership capable of addressing infrastructure, healthcare, and education challenges in the area.

As campaign activities continue, Malava remains a focal point of political mobilization, with leaders intensifying efforts to rally support ahead of the decisive voting day.
