2025 - Former Kakamega County Senator Cleophas Malala has asked for
forgiveness from the Luhya community for urging them to vote for President
William Ruto in the 2022 presidential election
Speaking at the burial of former Kabras South MCA, the late
Samson Taali, in Malava Constituency, Malala admitted that supporting the
president’s bottom-up agenda was a mistake, claiming he had been misled into
believing the promises were genuine
“It would be wrong for me not to say this: in 2022, I
campaigned for the president, and you gave me your vote. It would also be wrong
for me to come here and not ask for forgiveness,” Malala, who is also a former
United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General, stated.
“For the president's votes, we threw them away. I was
deceived. Please forgive me. I was told to speak about the bottom-up agenda,
believing it was the truth. But it turns out
“I was misled. I’ve parted ways with him now,” he added.
He emphasised that it was too early for leaders to shift
their focus away from serving their constituents.
"It's too early for elected leaders to start 2027
campaigns at the expense of service delivery on the mandate given to them by
Kenyan voters," Malalah stated, stressing the importance of leaders
upholding their commitments to the people who elected them.
