“I want to announce that you aren’t seen it yet. “Today. I am pleased to announce that I have stepped up so that I focus more on the common agenda that covers our people. I am presenting myself as the candidate for the position of the Senator of the County of Kakamega,” he added.
On his part, Senator Malala who will now fly the Kakamega County governor flag for Kenya Kwanza coalition thanked Khalwale for allowing him to vie for the seat saying he was optimistic to deliver.
“With a lot of humility, I wish to accept the nomination for me to run as the Governor of Kakamega County.
“I wish to thank my political father, former Senator Boni Khalwale, for ceding ground and he has not done so because I am a better leader but because of the sacrifice and the bigger picture Kenya Kwanza is looking at,” he stated.
