Leon Malala, the son of DCP Deputy Party leader Cleophas Malala, has announced his intention to vie for a Member of Parliament seat.
Speaking in Nyeri on Saturday, April 11, Leon noted the potential of young people, framing his bid as a generational call to action rather than a traditional political ambition.
He highlighted the strength of the youth demographic and their capacity to influence meaningful change across the nation.
“First, I would like to say that the youth of this country are the biggest asset. We have the numbers, we have the voice, and we have the ability to change this nation; it is our time to lead, even software has updates,” he said.

Leon clarified that his decision to run for office is not rooted in personal ambition or family legacy, but rather in response to what he described as a leadership gap in the country.
“I want to state very clearly that I am not a politician, I do not aspire to be a politician, I have never dreamt of being a politician, but today, I am going to vie for Member of Parliament. Not because I want to, not because of my dad, but because of the kind of leadership that this country has offered,” he added.
Elsewhere, this comes a month after Malala denied claims that he had double-crossed former Deputy President and DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua.
He denounced claims by Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina that he had met with some MCAs from Kirinyaga County to fight Gachagua.
Malala admitted to meeting the Ward Representatives, but maintained that it was only to prepare them for their meeting with the DCP Party Leader.
“Yesterday evening, I had fruitful consultative engagements with elected members of the county assembly of Kirinyaga ahead of today’s meeting with our Party Leader H.E Rigathi Gachagua,” the statement read in part.
