Alliance For Democracy (AFORD) senior official Wakuda Kamanga who was the secretary general (SG) and Judith Mang’anda who was the Director of Events, have quit the party and joined the newly formed National Development Party (NDP).
The two were officially welcomed into NDP by the party’s Secretary General Gerald Chilongo at the party’s headquarters in Area 49 in Lilongwe on Tuesday afternoon on 16th April 2024.
According to Chilongo, Kamanga has been appointed as the vice president responsible for Operations while Mang’anda is the Director of Protocol and Events.
Both Kamanga and Mang’anda have said their exit from Aford is as a result of the harassment which some Aford youths inflicted on Kamanga on 4th April 2024 at his office after accusing him of leaking party secrets to other political parties.
NDP was recently registered as a political party on 1st March 2024 and is led by Frank Mwenefumbo.
