Excitement Builds in Malava as DCP’s Dynamic Trio Set for Mega Rally Ahead of By-Election

Malava is bracing for what has been dubbed “the mother of all rallies” as the Democratic Change Party (DCP) gears up for a major political showdown ahead of the upcoming Malava Constituency by-election.

According to official communication from the party, DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua and Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala are expected to lead a high-profile delegation to Malava on Thursday, October 30, 2025, in support of the party’s parliamentary candidate.

The rally — themed “Malava Are You Ready?” — is expected to draw thousands of supporters from across Kakamega County and beyond, with the leadership promising a vibrant display of unity and energy as the campaign enters its final stretch.

DCP’s Top Brass to Lead the Charge

Party insiders describe the upcoming event as a defining moment for DCP’s growing influence in Western Kenya politics. The arrival of the top leadership, referred to as the “DCP Dynamic Trio,” underscores the party’s commitment to consolidating grassroots support and energizing its voter base.

“We are coming to Malava in full force,” said a party organizer during preparations on Wednesday. “Our leaders will be landing in style, ready to engage the people and share DCP’s vision for transformation and accountability.”

The rally will be held at Njooni Tuskize Grounds, a location that has in recent years hosted major political gatherings in the region. Security, logistical, and mobilization arrangements are reportedly in full swing, with local leaders coordinating youth, women, and grassroots groups to ensure massive attendance.

Campaign Momentum Ahead of the By-Election

The Malava by-election, triggered by a vacancy in the parliamentary seat, has intensified political competition among key parties seeking to gain or retain influence in Western Kenya. The DCP, under Gachagua’s leadership, has been positioning itself as a reformist and people-centered movement, focusing on economic empowerment, youth inclusion, and devolution.

Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala — a son of the region and a seasoned campaigner — is expected to play a central role in rallying the Western vote. Party strategists say his presence will boost the morale of local supporters and enhance DCP’s appeal among young and undecided voters.

“Hon. Malala connects naturally with the people of Malava. His energy and grassroots approach make him the perfect voice for DCP’s message of unity and change,” said one local party coordinator.

High Expectations and Political Symbolism

The anticipated turnout and symbolism of the rally have sparked conversations across the political landscape, with observers noting that the event could serve as a litmus test for DCP’s growing strength nationally.

Residents in Malava have expressed excitement ahead of the event, with many eager to hear directly from the party’s top brass about their plans for development and representation.

“We want to hear what DCP will do differently for our people,” said Mary Khavetsa, a resident of Malava town. “If their promises are realistic, they might just win this seat.”

Unity, Energy, and Style Expected

As the countdown continues, the mood in Malava remains charged. Banners, party colors, and campaign songs have already filled the streets, signaling a festive political atmosphere.

Party officials say the leaders’ arrival will be marked by a colorful procession through the town before addressing the public at Njooni Tuskize Grounds.

“It’s not just a rally — it’s a statement of intent,” a DCP spokesperson said. “We are showing that DCP is ready to lead, ready to unite, and ready to deliver.”
