Former People’s Party (PP) secretary general (SG) Paul Maulidi has rejoined the party, nine years after quitting.
He was unveiled on Wednesday in Lilongwe at a ceremony presided over by the party’s SG and current Minister of Energy Ibrahim Matola.
Speaking to journalists,Maulidi said he has decided to rejoin the PP because it is the party that has the peoples welfare at heart and has good leadership.
“This is my beloved party and the one that has people’s welfare at heart,” he said.
On his part,Matola described Maulidi as a valuable addition to the party which is currently on recruitment drive.
Maulidi left the party unceremoniously after he contested in Parliamentary by-elections in 2014 which PP was boycotting.
People’s Party is a political party that was founded in 2011 by Joyce Banda, Vice-President of Malawi from May 2009 to April 2012, and President from 7 April 2012 to 2014.
Banda created the party after being expelled from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) when she refused to endorse President Bingu wa Mutharika’s younger brother Peter Mutharika as the successor to the presidency for the 2014 general election.
