DPP calls for executive emergency meeting as Nankhumwa holds rally Sunday

October 1, 2020 Green Muheya - Nyasa Times 31 Comments

The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) secretary general Glesdler Jeffrey has called for a national governing council (NGC) meeting to be held this Saturday to discuss among other things the route map to the party’s convention.

Jeffrey: Calls for an  emergency executive meeting as DPP prepares  for convention to replace Mutharika

Jeffrey said the meeting will agree on when the party can hold the convention which will shape the direction of DPP.

“All we want is a convention to elect a new party president and leaders so we can have a new direction,” she said.

After the NGC meeting, Leader of Opposition in Parliament and DPP vice president (South) Kondwani Nankhumwa has planned a public rally on Sunday in Bangwe, Blantyre.

Nankhumwa is expected to comment on issues surrounding Mutharika’s attempt to remove him as leader of the opposition and  replace him with Francis Kusaila.

There are also reports that DPP plans to expel Nankhumwa from the party.

DPP recently appointed a Functional Review Committee chaired by vice-president (Eastern Region) Bright Msaka and is expected to present its report on October 31 2020

Based on its report the party’s leadership will discuss the way forward.

Political analyst Humphrey Mvula has said there is “toxic relationship” among party members.

He said DPP risks to be relegated to the dustbin of political history is it fails to manage its succession process.

  4. How come that MANEB is allowing these politicians to storm STD 8 examination rooms when examinations are in session? Is that ethical considering that examinations are confidential?

    1. This is not on .Putting students under pressure and off balance.These are small kids and the presence of this politician in an examination room is psychological pressure.ASH!!!!!! BULL SHIT

  5. Our track record as a nation, as far as handing over power to successors, is very very poor.

    As a nation, let us improve and make it clear (as leaders) as to whom is to succeed us, following laid down procedures.

    I put it to you that there are other associations which also lack clarity, apart from this issue and if left this way, shall also cause similar controversy.

    This is an issue which as a nation we need to take seriously, as it takes unecessary time away from building our beloved nation.

  6. Call me a prophet of doom but i can forsee Nakhumwa teaming up with Chilima . With chances of Chilima becoming President after 2015 fading i can see the two rebels teaming up. Chilima can then renew his chances of becoming President and Nankumwa Vice President. The looser will be Usi. With Mitambo safely under the shadow of MCP , Saulos can forget his dream of becoming President come 2015. Its a pipe dream. Chakwera is enjoying power . 5 years is not enough. And with MCP back into power after 30 years they cant give power to a vaulting ambitious Chilima.If they allow Chilima to be President come 2015 they will have to wait another 30 years or never ever.

  7. Call Nankhumwa all sorts of names but you must know and appreciate he is a force to reckon with. Expelling him will just speed up formation of another party which will be the speedy killing of DPP. It’s interesting to see how dull DPP leadership is that they can’t see the writing on the wall. Fact is that any aspiring DPP leader, other than Nankhumwa or some other younger person, does not inspire confidence and will just send the party fast to its grave.

  9. Nankhumwa should just be kicked out of the party. If he wants to start his own party let him do. But DPP will bounce back with a cleaner composition.

    1. Dreams of uninfertile person. No capable person to lead DPP. It goofed on SKC, No sane person can vote for DPP except those who were stealing when it was ruling.

  10. nankhumwa joji malenya nkhakamila ngati mbwiyace amweyi.
    mnjunju ngati othena agalu.
    aliyese apa nkhanitu ndi ndalama zaulele amangotapa zija zabule za masiye.akuopa akhala pa mtunda agalu baapandanani. mwasala pan’gono kulodzana.
    with this type of makani you think malawians are going to trust you again???? mpakatu 3030 .aliyese atakhala clean ndi korapshoni kaye.
    kkkkk Malawi parliament yasanduka BROTHEL timadabwatu ife . ambili angoyenda ngati ma penguins cipako , zipele kumangopakana then pass to wives and husbands and innocent kids all like moto woyaka ngati wocoka mu train olo cinthankala ca diesel cikaphulika.
    bakwinyinganana .tili ku ma stand

  11. What goes around comes around too. What do you think when you fired someone from the top position and immediately planning to expel him from the party. All what he is trying to do now is to punish and driving DPP into the lions den. Believe in me now it’s time for DPP to stop their regionalization system if they want come back and perform well as the did in 2004-2009 and stop point fingers in order to solve the problems if not then DPP is kissing last good bye to be main opposition party in parliament and in futures election will be welcoming UDF in their place.

  12. I am not a member of DPP but am just curious, why should the SG call for a convention to elect a new president while APM’s tenure is still in full swing? I thought if there had to be a convention it should have been APM’s suggestion through resignation or otherwise? APM was selected thru a convention which has a mandate of two terms? Why is the SG calling for a convention while APM hasn’t indicated when he is resigning?

    2. Peter is a failed leader, Malawians have rejected him as their president. Why should he be leader of DPP. What else do you think he will achieve. He is driving the party downhill, no Malawian will ever vote for him. Why do you want him to destroy your party

  13. To show that you are real leader why don’t you just give up that position and concentrate on national matters as MP rather than fight for the war that you know for sure that you are wrong, no one choose you as a leader of opposition according the stand of the Malawi Parliament of choosing opposition leader in Malawi and the way you are acting it shows that you are greedy and don’t forget you are the same person who gossiping about Chilima so that you can be next president of the party see how you end up now, you killed your party Mr Nakhumwa you are really really bad person and we don’t need your stupid leadership.

    1. The issue is not about larger following but having somebody with credited and envious academic and professional qualifications. In this day and age one should not be of “wakuba, mbuli or hule yemweyo supporter.” NO. We will never develop with this kind of mentality.
      I am now fully convinced this guy sought MCP protection when he met Mama. He might have seen the troubles ahead of him. MCP’s position is clearly leaning towards Nankhumwa. The argument that it was the speaker who made him acting Leader of Opposition because he was leader of the house doesn’t hold if you consider that MCP had Lowe as LoO but Chimwendo was made Leader of House the same day!
      My humble to DPP leadership is kickout this guy and the SG as soon as possible and let us see how many goodthinking DPP supporters will flock to a man with questionable academic qualifications. No man is indispensable in the world. We had the Chilimas and Kaliati’s in DPP, they are all gone and it took an indirect judiciary backed alliance to defeat DPP.
      We must also as a country try to give chance other tribes in our parties. DPP ever since it was formed some 15 or so years ago has been lead by a Lomwe, why can’t the Lomwes give other southern tribes a chance. That goes to MCP as well who have had 53 out of about 60 years of existence being led by Chewas.

      1. When you tell the truth, don’t be surprised when people don’t like you.
        I, for one, share your point of view on the topic.

  15. Munamulawitsa galu wanjala chifupa and sangataye fupalo. That is the problem when you give dzitsiru unduna and u president. Munthu has questionable degrees and MSCE with 37 points. Olo with quota system sangapange qualify. Galu kumugoneka pa mattress?

  16. Why cant DPP learn from UDF and AFORD? These parties are history now because of what Peter is exactly doing

    1. The you dont have the full picture. Actually if DPP will die its because of this Nankhumwa guy.

  17. It’s time for nankhumwa to be kicked out of the party, he seems to be an enemy 9f rebuilding dpp.

  18. Nankhumwa is not leadership material. He is very far from it. Who honestly thinks Nankhumwa can lead the party to success against Chakwera or chilima. Let’s not fool ourselves.

  19. Nankhumwa cannot be trusted, asowe! He should join achina Manganya ndi Kaliati ku NGO ya UTM
