There is no signs of peace in the Opposition Democratic Progressive Party.

Nankhumwa has since described as surprising a call by his regional governor, Charles Mchacha, for him to seek consent first from party leader Professor Peter Mutharika, before proceeding with his intentions.

“I have been a DPP vice president for the south since 2018. I have conducted several rallies across the country and I have never asked for a consent from the party president, why this call now,” questioned Nankhumwa.
