By Chisomo Phiri

The Peoples Party (PP) says it will hold its national elective convention on  September 7 this year in Lilongwe.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the convention chairperson Peter Kamange says all the party’s positions will be open to every member and that the nomination window will run up to the  August 31, 2024.

Kamange further says aspirants will pay between K100,000 and K500,000 to be allowed to contest in the elections.



PP 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 former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) when she refused to endorse  Peter Mutharika as the successor to the presidency for the 2014 general election.
