Senator Cleophas Malala beats Woman Rep. Gladys Wanga badly, later arrested

 

Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala beats Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga in the boiled Matungu by-election that kicked off Thursday morning.


The event occurred at Bulimbo Primary School at about 8.30 am, a tallying centre.

Malala’s PA, Collins Babu, said that their team was tipped off of alleged voter bribery at Bulimbo and sped off to the tallying centre where he faced the Homa Bay Woman Representative.


PA Babu alleged that they found Wanga dishing out cash to voters, leading to the physical fight that saw Malala kick and slaps the Orange Democratic (ODM) Movement Woman Representative.


Malala is promoting the Amani National Congress candidate Peter Oscar Nabulindo while Wanga is backing ODM candidate, former MP David Were.


The chaotic election already saw another violent incident after former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa slapped an election official at Bulonga Primary School.
