Dausi: Roller-coaster is not static

Dausi said DPP will continue to strengthen with other members.

“Political party is just like a roller coaster, people get in and get out but the roller coaster is not static,” he said.

He said Malawians should not rush to write-off DPP, saying The party was still a force to reckon with despite the turbulence it was facing.

“In politics everyday is like new year. Lets wait and see.” he said.

But PP vice president who is also the country’s second-in-command, Khumbo Kachali, described Kamanga’s joing PP as a big catch.

“I am immensely happy with the coming of Wakuda Kamanga,” said Kachali.

“Politically he is an asset and he is adding value to the PP,” said the VP.
