Immediate former Principal of Bungoma high school Enock Andanje Musambai who took early retirement to contest for Malava by-elections on the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket is dead.
Andanje collapsed at Boda Boda engagement forum in Malava, that was being attended by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
He was rushed to Oasis hospital in Kakamega for immediate medical attention but was unfortunately confirmed dead at the facility.
So far, 30 contestants are on cards for the Malava parliamentary seat that was left vacant after the demise of Malulu Injendi.
Mudavadi has since rallied religious leaders and county leaders to support a UDA candidate in the upcoming November mini-polls.
