With three months to the hotly contested Malava by-election in Kakamega County, the UDA and ODM parties have teamed up against the opposition in a bid to win the seat that was left vacant following the death of MP Malulu Injendi.

According to UDA, it has to retain the seat since the late MP was a UDA lawmaker.
