The High Court has upheld removal of Cleophas Malala as UDA Secretary General.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye in his ruling affirned Hassan Omar’s appointment, quashing September 2024 Political Parties Disputes Tribunal ruling that had allowed Malala to retain the position as the Acting Sec Gen.
On August 2, 2024, the former Kakamega Senator was removed as the UDA Sec Gen by the party’s National Executive Council.
Omar who was then part vice chairperson took over Malala’s position in an acting capacity.
“The National Executive Committee has determined to designate the Vice-Chairperson, Hassan Omar Hassan to act as the Secretary-General on an interim basis. The appointment of Cleophas Malala as the interim Secretary General is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,” UDA’s NEC communicated.
Malala had been picked in the position to replace Veronica Maina who was nominated for the Senate.
