DPP deputy spokesperson Taulo quits: Mpinganjira says ‘rebels’ should not use party emblems
As squabbles continue to rock main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), its deputy national publicity secretary Chris Taulo has resigned from his position and also withdrawn his membership from the party.
In a letter dated October 4 2020 to the party’s secretary general, Taulo, said his resignation is with immediate effect.
Taulo has confirmed to Nyasa Times the authenticity of the letter.
He said the decision to quit the party “has not been easy considering that DPP is and had been my dream party ever since.
“But as a young politician full of modern political ambition, I have realised that the current environment in our party is not conducive.”
DPP leader and the country’s immediate past president Peter Mutharika is at loggerheads with some party members who want him to step down from leading the former ruling party ousted from power in the June 23 court sanctioned presidential elections.
However, speaking to journalist at his private retirement home in Mangochi christened as ‘Nyekhwe Palace,’ on Friday, Mutharika said: “I am not clinging to the position of party president but I want a proper transition. No one should just highjack the party.
“The party has instituted the functional review committee which will conduct research on why the party performed poorly [in June 23 fresh presidential election] and make other findings. They will deliver the report to me by October 31.”
DPP spokesperson Brown Mpinganjira has since called on party “rebels” in the Kondwani Nankhumwa camp not to use DPP emblems or convene any meeting in the name of the party.
He said the party politburo and its legislators have picked Francis Kasaila to be Leader of Opposition in Parliament replacing Nankhumwa.
In the party, Nankhumwa has since been replaced by Joseph Mwanamvekha as vice-president for the South.
While Gresdler Jeffrey has been replaced by Samuel Tembenu as Secretary General.

It’s about a matter of time DPP will never be seen again soon will be the history
Youth leadership is what is needed here not people like Mphepo, Mpinganjira and others. Nowadays age matters most. You are destroyed your party with your colonial type of thinking. Nthawi yovotera azigogo inatha.
Mr DPP President, Early convention is the answer. FREE ADVICE.
The injunction which Nankhumwa obtained was misconceived since was issued against wrong parties who not legally exist.
Muziwona simunati amphwanga
Kodi mutharika wapenga? Chipanj anachiperekea kuchikazi, tinakachilanda. Anachipeleka kwa a chawa tachitengako. Ndiye akufuna achipereke kwa Asena? Dpp ndi chipani chathu alomwe. Nankhumwa for Lesder of opposition and president
Brown Mpinganjira should have been an MP to be spewing the party regulations. He is just winking in the night KN can’t see nor hear Mpinganjira the lad is holding to the opposition leadership in the National Assembly. He is a journalist so was Benjamin Mkapa the former president of Tanzania. Hold on to it. Moreover your assessment of the APM sycophants is just brilliant they are in the twilight of their careers you’re in the class that is swinging with a torch lighting a path for all Malawians. Komanso that ministerial limousine with a security guard mustn’t be relinquished all that easily the attendant benefits can’t be thrown to the garrulous old DPP chatterboxes
Tiyeni nazo, who is next in-line
Adzingothothoka mmodzi-mmodzi ife tiri chete ku ma stand

Smart man!
Look here ,Chakwera has done the same to give most of the ministerial positions to his kinsmen the Chewa of central region.Trust is the issue here.DPP is Lhomwe based party with their nephews the Yawo.The Southerners misjudged the Tonse Alliances.Zimvele mtolo anthu akumwera pazomwe munachita kuvotera Tonse alliance inu numati Tonse ibweretsa zabwino kkkk.Zanga pheee kwanga kuonelera kkk.Of course am not a Political fun
nkhondo ya amalinyelo. kkkkkk
Mutharika has said “I am not cling to the position, I just want to make sure that there is proper transition”. What Mutharika has said is right. Why should some one fill entitled just because he or she is young. For Nankhumwa to have an position in the party he was elected due a process that a party had put in place, therefore this tie around he should also let the same process to choose who will take over from Mutharika. Do not impose yourself on the party through court injunction
Just make Mutharika party president for life then mpungwepungwe uwu will come to rest
DPP made a very grave mistake to welcome BJ Mpinganjira in the party. BJ has never been in DPP. When DPP was formed in 2005 BJ was president of NDA. During the attempt to impeach Bingu Mutharika BJ was for the impeachment together with John Tembo and Bakili Muluzi. Just because he is a Lomwe he has been given influential position in the party and he sees this as his opportunity to settle his political scores with Kondwani Nankhumwa in Mulanje Central Constituency. He wants to use DPP as a stepping stone to reclaim the constituency from Nankhumwa.
Oh what a blessing it was to Malawi for BJ to join DPP. I’m happy for the confusion he has created, his trademark actually. Check his History, everything goes besserk wherever he goes.
Muuzeni nzanuyo akatenge degree yabwinobwino ku UNIMA. Madegree akwacha mpaka ku Sanjika? Bolani Bakili had a diploma from a state run technical college in Canada.
Abwana anuwo ali makobili azilipirire kukatenga Bachalors ya Media ku Chanco ngati nzao Gospel Kazako. Look pano Gospel akupatsidwa ulemu Alumni wa UNIMA.
So that time akuluwa akamakatenga degree yabwinobwino BJ azagwirizira mpando.
Can you even imagine Kondwani Nankhumba debating President Chakwera????…… it will be like 2 worlds kikikikikikikikikikikiki
Kodi bwanawa alibedi degree yachilingamo yeti I agree with you apeze chipatso choyenera kuti ziwandere apo mabvuto alipo
The only comment that is full of wisdom & facts. I like it.
