In his acceptance speech, Hon. Manyasi pledged to be a voice for the ordinary citizen, emphasizing the importance of inclusive representation and servant leadership.

We believe the people of Malava are ready for a new chapter of leadership that puts their aspirations at the heart of governance. Issue-Based Campaign

The DNA has committed to running an issue-based campaign grounded in grassroots dialogue, civic education, and constituency-wide engagement. This approach is expected to foster a more informed and engaged electorate, ultimately leading to a more representative government.

The by-election in Malava follows a vacancy declared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and is expected to be scheduled later this year. As Hon. Manyasi embarks on his campaign, he faces the challenge of winning over the hearts and minds of the Malava constituency. With his people-first agenda and the DNA's commitment to issue-based campaigning, the stage is set for a potentially transformative leadership contest.

Manyasi's vision for Malava resonate with the electorate? Only time will tell.
