The Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) has handed a direct ticket to Seth Ambosini Sindani Panyako to contest the Malava parliamentary seat, in what party leader Eugene Wamalwa described as a decisive step towards capturing one of the most hotly contested by-elections in the country.
Announcing the decision in Nairobi, Wamalwa said the nomination followed a scientific poll commissioned by the party and its coalition partners, which placed Panyako head and shoulders above all the 15 aspirants eyeing the Malava seat.
