The furious demonstrators accused the UDA party hierarchy of unwarranted planning to oust the current party Secretary General Cleophas Malala
However, the demonstrations were cut short after armed police officers intervened and began dispersing the demonstrators.
The incident comes after Joe Khalende reportedly declared himself the party’s new secretary-general, announcing Malala’s ouster.
Khalende accused Malala of contravening the party’s objectives and opposing the broad-based government allegedly formed by President William Ruto.
He stated,”I Joe Khalende, will be taking over as the Secretary General of the UDA party. UDA party is going back to its members. Cleophas Malala has joined the opponent,”
“Malala has gone against our party leader. He has been at the forefront of frustrating the party’s grassroots elections. He has been a man on the run.”
This comes hours after Malala refuted allegations of stepping down from his current party position.
He stated,”Ignore propaganda. The party is stable and focused on helping President William Ruto achieve his agenda for Kenya. Chama iko Imara.
