The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) got a taste of what has been a preserve of the opposition parties, as teargas was lobbed in its headquarters during the ouster of Cleophas Malala as the party's Secretary General.

Malala was declared persona non grata and East African Legislative Assembly lawmaker Hassan Omar installed as the new UDA Secretary General during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting convened by chairperson Cecily Mbarire.
