The Democratic Action Party (Kenya) DAP-K has nominated Seth Panyako for the upcoming Malava Constituency by-election, scheduled for November 27. Panyako, Secretary-General of the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN), faces a legal challenge over his eligibility to contest.

• Seth Panyako's nomination follows the death of former Member of Parliament Malulu Injendi in February.
• A petition seeks to bar Panyako, alleging he failed to resign from his public office as a LAPFUND board member by August 15, as required by law.
• DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa described the by-election as a major test of political strength for the opposition ahead of the 2027 general election.
