Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has called on residents of Malava Constituency to maintain peace, unity and political sobriety as they prepare to vote in the November 27 by-election.
Speaking during campaign rallies on Sunday, Mudavadi urged voters to back UDA candidate David Ndakwa, describing him as a visionary leader capable of driving development in the constituency.
He said Malava was at a defining moment and needed stable, responsible leadership.
“The by-election should be an opportunity for the community to affirm its desire for peace and progress, not a platform for tension or divisive rhetoric,” he said.
“Malava deserves steady leadership, and I believe David Ndakwa reflects these values.”
