Veteran politician rejoins DPP
Veteran politician Nelson Aaron Mwambungu of Karonga has returned to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) after he renounced his membership to stand as an independent parliamentarian during the May 19 elections.
Mwambungu ditched the DPP after he lost in the primary polls for Karonga North and stood independently but again lost the seat, which he previously represented, to DPP Vincent Winston Ghambi.
He said he had decided to rejoin the DPP because he has seen that it is the only party that has the welfare of Malawians at heart.
“Besides I was already a DPP member. I left because of some disagreements that ensued during the primary elections. But what you should know is that in theory I left the party but in practice I was still a DPP member.
“The same happened to most independent parliamentarians, they were initially DPP members and they have now seen the need to return to their party so who am I not to? I lost the polls and its now time to offer my support and work with it,” said Mwambungu, described by many political commentators in the North as a political opportunist.
Mwambungu said he had consulted the people who support him in his area and have given him a go-ahead to rejoin the DPP.
“I have declared my interest to rejoin and work with the DPP again because the president [Bingu wa Mutharika] has been saying the door is open to all those who left the party,” said Mwambungu who has been a member of almost all the ruling parties in Malawi including the now losing-ground Alliance for Democracy (AFORD).
During the May 19 elections, the ruling DPP got 114 seats but the government side now has over 142 parliamentarians following a massive exodus of independent MPs to join government.

The official languages on nyasa times are english and chichewa. Use the language which the majority can understand. By the way nyasa times, who is this chap rejoining DPP. Does he warrant a story on our favourite paper. He is a nobody. Leave such stories to MBC and TVM. We want serious stuff on nyasa times.
Iwe Luka vuto lako ndi chiyani ngati ulibe mtundu izo ndi zako. Who told you that the official langauges for nyasa times is english and chichewa, where did you get this. People have been writing in chichawa you were silent. Do not pop your nose in other peoples story. Do you own this news anyway.
It seems that you do not follow Malawian politics as you do not know this man. Sometimes if you do not have anything to comment please do not write for the sake of writing taonani mwapusa nazo manyazi bwanji!!!!!!!!!!!
This is true am yao but anyone should be able to write any language they want this is not just chichewa or english keep writting in tumbuka or any language you wish.

Ever heard of a Rainbow Nation? That’s South africa my flend. 12 Official languages and counting. Those who choose a little known language will do so at their own peril because very few people wil understand. But who knows, maybe they do it on purpose. Kagwere uko Mayikolo Jakisoni iwe!

Mwambungu is just looking for kickbacks. He lost alot during campaign and he thinks by joining DPP he will get a token of thanks from DPP. Adya chiyani uyo msiyeni. Koma munthu wake si Bingutu ayi, mwina akadakhala Bakili tikadamva kuti awapititsa ku Brussels ngati Kazembe, koma Bingu, atuwa amenewo.

Why is it that every jim and jack wantys to join DPP? Watch out DPP, these are the people who will destroy the party come 2014 by breaking away just before the elections. Some time, one by one they will, they will go into opposition with some supporters. Watch out!!
