Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has urged residents of Malava Constituency to elect a Member of Parliament who commands President William Ruto's complete trust in the upcoming by-election. Speaking to religious leaders in Nairobi on Wednesday, August 13, Mudavadi emphasized the need for a loyal representative to ensure continued government support and development for the area.

• The Malava Constituency by-election, triggered by the passing of three-term MP Malulu Injendi in February 2025, is scheduled for November 27, 2025.
• Over 30 aspirants have emerged, with frontrunners including Seth Panyako of the United Democratic Party (UDP), Edgar Busiega Mwanga of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), and Ryan Injendi, the son of the late MP, who is believed to have UDA backing.
• Mudavadi dramatically used the metaphor of President Ruto trusting an MP with his "glass of water" to illustrate the level of confidence required to fast-track development projects and ensure the constituency benefits from the Kenya Kwanza government.
