Kakamega gubernatorial hopeful Cleophas Malala’s running mate Beatrice Inyangala has dismissed as ‘fake’ reports that she has stepped down.
Reports circulating on social media had claimed that Beatrice had stepped down to protect her image over senator Malala’s fake degree saga.
The reports further claim that Adagala resigned fearing for her life after senator Malala was stripped of his bodyguards.
But speaking after winding up on their San Francisco visit on Tuesday, May 31, Adagala insisted that she was firmly in the race and that she will soon hit the ground campaign for Malala.
“And definitely there will be more propaganda coming…I step down? No. No way. I am very much in the race. I am going to hit the ground running next week so Kakamega here we come,” Malala’s running mate said.
On his part, Malala said they were well rejuvenated and urged his campaign team to be strong adding that he and Adagala have now enough energy, resources, and focus that they will clinch the Kakamega gubernatorial seat.
“I think we have had good time planning and we want to assure our opponents that we are coming in a big way and they should be ready to accept defeat come August 9,” Malala said.
The National Police Service confirmed that it had withdrawn Malala’s security details after the Senator was caught on video trashing police work in the presence of cops who were guarding his campaign trail in the region.
Kivumbi.co.ke understands that Malala was forced to share copies of his academic papers in a bid to quash doubt about whether he was qualified to run for the gubernatorial post.
The Information System and Technology graduates however came under criticism after he could neither remember when exactly he joined the University nor the year he graduated.
Senator Malala said that all he could remember was that his graduation ceremony was attended by the entire family, friends, and neighbors.
