DCP SG Malala vows allegiance to Sifuna, says Gachagua ready to support his presidency

Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary-General Cleophas Malala has vowed allegiance to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna in support of his presidential bid in the upcoming 2027 General Election.

Speaking during a Linda Mwananchi rally in Kakamega County on Sunday, Malala said the enemies of the Luhya community were not necessarily people from outside, but internal community members whom he accused of being jealous of other people’s progress.

“I, Cleophas Malala, solemnly swear that I will stand with Edwin Sifuna to be the President of Kenya,” Malala declared during the rally.

Malala said his party leader, Rigathi Gachagua, had sent him to relay an important message, claiming that the former Deputy President was ready to join and collaborate with Sifuna in his bid to become President.

In his response to Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, who had asked him to fully join the Linda Mwananchi team, referring to the DCP shirt he wore during the rally, Malala said Sifuna could not win the election through Luhya support alone.

He called for collaboration with political allies from outside the community to strengthen Sifuna’s presidential bid.

“Osotsi, us as the Luhya cannot make Edwin Sifuna the President on our own. We must source for outside friends,” he said.

Malala also called on residents to support his bid for the governorship position in the upcoming General Election.
