Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has expressed commitment to ensure the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party wins the Malava constituency by-election.
Mudavadi will be spearheading campaign for the ruling party.
The seat became vacant following the death of legislator Moses Malulu Injendi in February.
Speaking in a consultative meeting with over 100 clan chairpersons and elders drawn from the 29 Kabras clans, the dominant sub-tribe in Malava, Mudavadi reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that UDA fields a candidate who embodies the values and aspirations of the people.
“Until you elect a new Member of Parliament, I stand as your Patron in Malava. We must move forward together, build on the strong foundation left by our late brother Hon. Malulu Injendi, and ensure that the development agenda remains on course,” he stated.

He revealed plans to hold wider consultations with key stakeholders — including youth, women, scholars, farmers, business leaders, and religious leaders — emphasizing that inclusive dialogue is essential to shaping a united and forward-looking vision for Malava’s future.
“Leadership is not about theatrics or short-term promises. Malava deserves a predictable, consistent, and dependable leader, someone who can be trusted to put the interests of the people first,” he said.
Appealing to the region’s long-standing political maturity, he urged residents to transcend clannism and resist divisive rhetoric, noting that unity of purpose is essential for development.
“Do not let temporary excitement blind you. If you sell your father’s land to buy a trumpet, where will you stand to blow it?” he posed, drawing laughter and applause from the audience.
