Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) National Organizing Secretary Chimwemwe Mazabuka Chipungu has been calling the party’s MPs, summoning them to attend an urgent meeting on Sunday, June 26, 2022 at President Peter Mutharika’s opulent residence (PAGE House) in Mangochi.
While Chipungu is not disclosing items on the agenda to the MPs, impeccable sources close to the meeting say, the meeting has been called to elect the new Leader of Opposition to replace the incumbent Dr. Kondwani Nankhumwa.
The source further indicate that, a good number of MPs believed to be pro-Nankhumwa have been sidelined as they haven’t been invited, including the Leader of Opposition himself.
So far, there are five (5) individuals earmarked to to take up the position and replace Dr Nankhumwa namely; Hon. Shadreck Namalomba, Hon. Bright Msaka, Hon Dr. George Chaponda, Hon. Victor Musowa and Hon. Owen Chomanika.
By sidelining Nankhumwa, the Secretary General and other MPs it clearly shows that the party is not committed to achieving peace and unity.
