The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has welcomed several new members, including notable figures from other political parties such as the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), the United Democratic Front (UDF), the People’s Development Party (PDP), and the United Transformation Movement (UTM).
During a political rally held yesterday in Chikwawa, renowned musician Charles Msaku and Saul Chembezi were among those officially received into the party.
The event, which took place in Nchalo, was presided over by Charles Mchacha, the DPP’s regional governor for the Southern Region.
One of the prominent figures joining the party is Louis Ngalande, a former UTM member, who publicly asked for forgiveness from senior DPP officials for previously opposing the party.
Ngalande acknowledged his past political decisions and expressed his commitment to working with the DPP moving forward.
The rally showcased DPP’s growing appeal to members from other political groupings, signaling an intensified political realignment as Malawi gears up for future elections.
The party leadership has welcomed the new members, emphasizing unity and the collective goal of strengthening DPP’s influence across the country.
