A Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Youth Governor for Lilongwe, has accused some senior members of the party of working tirelessly destabilizing the party so that it goes to the 2025 elections without a presidential candidate and allow President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera not to have a strong competitor.
The Youth Governor speaking on a strict condition of anonymity said Hon. Dr. Kondwani Nankhumwa, Hon. Ken Msonda, Hon. Billy Malata and Hon. Big Joe Nyirongo plus others behind them are not members of the DPP in good faith but destroyers of the party.
He said the three have gone to court to meet the party’s leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika so that the court declares him not eligible to stand in the 2025 elections describing this as a deliberate plan of weakening the DPP.
Speaking through a telephone conversation in reaction to a recent DPP presser held in Lilongwe on Sunday by Msonda, Nyirongo and Malata, the source has made it clear that all the presidential aspirants in the DPP cannot defeat President Chakwera in the 2025 elections.
The source said it is only Mutharika who can go to Kasiya in Lilongwe to campaign amongst family members of President Chakwera for them not to vote for their son for messing up the country claiming that even his family members have lost trust in him.
He said if the court make a strong decision to bar Professor Mutharika from standing, DPP family members and supporters including patriotic Malawians who are in the MCP will settle for someone residing outside the country to be the Presidential candidate.
The source said he will go for Muvi wa Chilungamo’s leader Bantu Saunders Jumah to stand as a presidential candidate to compete with President Chakwera for him not to bounce back into government through the back door.
The Governor said all the deliberate plans to destroy the DPP for it to end like curtains on the wall will not succeed advising patriotic Malawians and DPP supporters to press the office of the Registrar General to register Muvi wa Chilungamo as a new political party to liberate Malawi from the shackles of the MCP dictatorship.
“My fellow party members, crooks are stabilizing our party to pave way for President Chakwera to bounce back through the back door, join me in settling for one in the bush, David -Bantu Saunders Jumah,” said the source.
He appealed to church organizations, religious leaders and Malawians that have a patriotic heart for the country to start selling the name of Bantu Saunders Jumah to stand as an independent Presidential candidate to save Malawi from sinking.
