Resignation petition for Malala as UDA Secretary General
Resignation petition for Malala as UDA Secretary General
The congressman charged Malala with abusing his position to take advantage of opportunities that would benefit him at the expense of the petitioners and other party members in the petition in which UDA was listed as an interested party.
Additionally, he charged him with usurping the authority of the National Elections Board, the only body authorized to handle internal party elections within the party. “The Petitioners will suffer irreparable personal loss and prejudice if the Honorable Committee does not intervene,” the statement begins.
Khalwale bemoaned that the respondent had appointed county and regional administrators to oversee the upcoming local elections, which are set for December 9, 2023.
The party who was wronged claimed that there was no proof that the National Executive Committee or the National Elections Board were consulted before the hiring decision was made.
The Respondent overstepped his mandate and usurped the roles and mandate of the National Elections Board,” stated the letter. “By overstepping his mandate and usurping the mandate of the National Elections Board, it is quite clear that the Respondent is bent on compromising the process by appointing his cronies and friends as election management officials.”
Khalwale requested an injunction from the committee to prevent Malala from performing the duties of the UDA’s Office of the Secretary General as a result. The petition was submitted by Walter Mkinginyi Trenk and Khalwale.
The suit was filed a few weeks after a fight between Malala and Khalwale over the former’s order for all parties affiliated with the UDA to disband their organizations and join the ruling coalition. “Those who recently joined us, like Malala, have a lot of work to do to establish themselves as true UDA members.
In order to gain credibility and the trust of UDA members, he should focus on the ANC rather than ordering his previous party, the ANC, to dissolve itself, regretted Khalwale at the time.
