The decision was made on Friday at party president Peter Mutharika retirement home in Mangochi where the party’s Central Committee met and Mutharika chaired the meeting.

While Jeffrey has been replaced by Samuel Tembenu as SG.

Also expelled from the party is Yusuf Nthenda, Mulanje North legislator, who is accused of defying the party in Parliament when he opposed imposition of Francis Kasaila as Leader of Opposition in Parliament and Jappie Mhango, who is the party’s treasurer general. Mhango has been replaced by Nick Masebo.

The party’s spokesperson Brown Mpinganjira, who addressed journalists a said the firing means the four cannot conduct any political rally or meeting in the name of DPP.

  3. yeah thats what happens in life, osalafe tiyeni tizingolimbikira awa asiyeni ali ndi ndalama ……..pa nyasa panaola kalekale

  4. He had this coming. If he really wanted to take over from APM. He should have played his cool and followed the APM leadership until a proper and due process of choosing the successor was followed. Otherwise, zolanda zi sizimatheka. I guess he knows that APM would not allow him to take over the DPP leadership thereby trying by all means to hustle the leadership. Well he has just been thrown out he will never be any near the leadership position now. So near and yet so far away. He should have learnt something from the Chilima debacle. In politics it usually takes time before you can really be the front man. You have to build it brick by brick.

  6. Mcp has Jessie kabwira who thought she was bigger than the Grand old party. She was sacked and is now nothing, but a common hag in the streets. Phuma. Nankhumwa wants to wrestle power pomwe sanafetse. Sizimatha bwino,insubordination doesn’t look good on anyone’s Cv even Mcp wouldn’t welcome that.

  7. I for one am very disappointed with Nankhumwa, l expected better frol him. He has taken the Chilima route of rebellion and that will not end well. You can see Chilima moving up and down the country and think the man is enjoying it but in reality he knows that he was used and very soon the naughty MCP will through him out. Loyalty is a great thing to do in politics until your time comes.

  10. Kuma stand phee, DIPHIPHI lero? Kaya macadet zanu izo. Moto upite basi kumene kwatsala tchire. Kalandeni zija munamupatsa Kaliwo kuti asokoneza mighty MCP. Ife tinalimba coz we are a national party koma chanuchi kaya ndakayika, opanda makobiri akuba simulimba. Let the game begin. Arsenal pa kwao. kkkkkkkkkkkkk Nkhalamba VS Achinyamata

    1. palibe nkhani apa DPP inawina nthawi ya Joyce Banda from opposition anthu ataithawa.wait and see,zilibwino only the loyalist should remain

      1. Cadet stop deluding yourself. DPP did not win in 2014. It was Judge Kenyatta who had given Mutharika a stolen victory. Ndiye ma judge ndi aja munkawatukwana, kunyela mwano pa nkhani ya chisankho, forcing them to retire. Forget about sympathy from the judiciary this time.
        Muchila koma

  13. Nankhumwa may be right but he lacks etiquette and that’s bad enough. You don’t have to outsmart your leader no matter what the circumstances are. This principle is what has kept MCP intact todate. Therefore Nankhumwa must step aside and give space to more matured people like Dr George Thapatuwa Chaponda. Let us not forget kuti during Joice Banda regime, Thapatuwa Chaponda was the leader of opposition and was removed because of the fake “maize procurement scandal” which courts found him clean and with no case. So Nankhumwa should handover the position to Dr Chaponda kuti a MCP amve m’bebe.

    1. Some people argue that the translation of “politics ” as “ndale” in Chichewa is a misnomer. But I beg to disagree. Ndale is in fact a proper and precise definition/description of politics.

      What is happening in DPP is pure, textbook politics of the machiavellian type. Some are questioning Nankhumwa’s intellectual wherewithal to be leader of a political party, let alone a country. But I can say one thing about him: Kondwani is clever, cunning, ruthless and vindictive. His outward demeanour is that of coolness, calmness and intelligence; and I can state here, unapologetically, that he is a “good” politician, effectively following to the letter the teachings of Niccolo Machiavelli.

      Nankhumwa is going to be a pain in a lot of his adversaries’s arses. Mark my words.

  15. That is the only way to bring sanity in the party. The president and the NGC are the decision makers and not MPs. The problem with dpp is that they had no agenda and thought they would not be kicked out of government basing their argument on what Chaponda said that they could win win elections without the north. They never thought that 50%+1 would resurface through the courts. Here you are now fighting over nothing. Dpp is a dead party. It will never come back.

    1. Are you sure?? Why is it people tend to forget so fast. Mcp went through the same cleaning experience by removing mwanje wa njobvu. Remember what happened to Jessie she thought being a lecture is wise once dumped by mcp where is she now??

    2. On another note it’s very clear that tumbuka judiciary played a role to remove dpp in government. If you look at votes they didn’t change for dpp what happened was just to add mcp to utm basi

  16. DPP 2084 woooooooo. Kkkkkkkkkkk musandikomole mkuseka ine. Timkakuuzani kuti awa ndi maloto a gojo(mzimayi wosabereka). Pano ndi izi mukungolumana nokha nokha. Alomwe inu si anthu. Kukonda kutamba too much. Wina ndi uja adachita kutaya chithumwa pa airport poperekeza mlomwe mzake pa ulendo wa Ku UNGA. Mpaka maso adafiira Mdala atazindikira kuti wagwetsa pillow. Inuyo alomwe kuphululuka ndi masana omwe ndi zomwe mumadziwa. Tikuonerani. Ngolongoliwa adapita APA wamkulu aoneke. Wina akulowera Ku Mozambique wina akupita Ku Nigeria kukazamirana kuti muthyolane akatumba ndi mphafa hehehehehe.

    Ine ndiri pheee Ku VIP stand kuonerera

    1. Mzwaya you are useless, you should remember that Lomwes are as Malawian as you are and that not every Lomwe is involved in politics

  17. The myths and mystries sorounding the (cursed/blessed) v 2020 . Indeed ndatsimikiza mau a gogo “Patsogolo npambuyopomwe”. Im very conviced that DPP did not think of the future. Worse sitting on opposition side again. for them this time is a nightmare. “Ukakwela pansana pa njovu”. Adadi angovomeleza palimba mwala. Bakili a.k.a achair, once said “wapakeliyala saimba belu 😂😂😂😂”. Adadi, Ma replacement enawa mukupha chipani. Nzeru zofoila za a change golo♺♺♺ …….. Believe you me New party loading🔜🔜….count me………😎😎😎🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼

  18. As I mentioned a couple of days ago the battle in dpp has just begun. The challenge with this dpp wrangle is that it smacks of so much external influence and interest. It’s not just an internal wrangle as many may believe. Keep watching this space…

    1. Akutumidwa mfanayi kuti atsokoneze . Tonse alliance want someone they can bulldoze remember Tembo vs Kayembe during UDF rule

  21. This is s good development, let them go form their party. We need an opposition with idealism and vision to rival the tonse govt. Not some mere politicians with mind of a group village headman

  22. Too late…The weavil did the damage to the maize already. This backstabber ,snake in the grass ,is the genesis of the DPP’s present predicament..Munthuyu ndi mthira kuwiri .He fanned the firing of SKC,AKWENI.He master minded the Chaponda-Kaloswe mudslinging.It is also believed that he used to reveal all cabinet proceedings to his DPP team B accomplices (UTM).

  23. The civil war within DPP is now about to commence. The battles in this war will be brutal, violent and vicious; no holds barred and no retreat, no surrender.

    The DPP will concoct, or dig up and expose all the dirt it can on Nankhumwa.

    Nankhumwa, on his part, will expose some juicy, dirty material about APM and DPP…

    Just wait to enjoy!

  26. There’s more to democracy than i anticipated. It’s never boring. Bingu and Peter Arthur will go down in Malawi history as the most ………[ i am always entertained

  28. I m dpp but nankhamwa not for me.i found the guy not bright upstairs.the parliamentary exchange he had with chakwera proved my point this is a guy i wont be comfortable to have at state house.

  29. Nankhumwa ndi wopusa kuyambira m’masaya mpaka mmutu. Alibe ulemu. Alibe makalata oyenera. Komanso ndi wautsiru. Since he became Leader of Government the DPP has been getting weaker and weaker. Losing all the Speaker seats in Parliament and other powers. As an impostor to the position of Leader of Opposition we have seen the opposition being at its lowest ebb. He is not suitable to lead. He is not convincing. Those following him are fellow idiots.

  37. Katswiri pa za ufiti, kuba ,katangale ndi ziphuphu koma
    osagwidwa, Olemekezeka a George  Malemia
    Nankhumwa PEPANI KWAMBIRI

  40. I’m not a Dpp supporter but I hate the way they are treating Nankhumwa this thing will not end well in this party.that is nosense way of politics…I hate you Dpp gurus.

  43. Awachita bwino, anaonjeza mwano. I heard Jappie ku Parliament
    akutukwana APM, I couldn’t believe it

    1. Achinyamatawa achulutsadi mwano. Taonani a Nankhumwa kusafuna kuweruzika. Nankhumwa is very wrong to have imposed himself as a Leader of Oppostion and lied to the speakers office about his recommendation by the party. He was wrong to embarrass he disciplinary committee coz that was his chance to apologize and seek blessing from the party. Now Gelzelder ndiye scando yeniyeni. The SG should report what the NGC has agreed and not otherwise. Personal opinions remain inside and when time comes for the vote, you Express them. The two had really caused cracks to the part and it was indeed long overdue expulsion. DPP is a party and any member to it subscribes to its constitution and regulations. These two had intended to suffocate democratic values of DPP and rebel against their own party. Very soon we will forget these two so called big people. The party shall remain and rebuilding is the next step. We need real members not traitors.

  51. Kondwani Nankhumwa and jappie Mhango are evil.Kuba koma
    kumutukwana APM kumapeto yet ndiomwewa anabweletsa nthenya mu DPP.

  52. Ndale za Brown akusokoneza nazo APM who because of old age and shock of the june 23 loss doesn’t want to disappoint anyone who is crying with him.

    of late Brown is becoming powerful figure in DPP.
    is it because akumaopseza kuti mukapanda kundimvera ndiulura za judge bribery kuti chinandituma nchipani?
    zikuoneka ngati Brown akuopedwa zedi

  55. Great News! Nankhumwa, Gelzeder and Gotani   demonstrated
    ignorance yesterday by conducting that unconstituonal vote at parliament.

  56. Bold and smart  move
    by the DPP .ALL sellouts OUT. Time to work with loyal members. MCP went through
    the same with the likes of Gustav Kaliwo. This Nankhumwa  guy is a snake. BRAVO DPP

  57. In Loving Memory DPP. Gone not yet forgotten. Taken away from us by ruthless and greedy few. RIP DPP.

  59. A Iguputo mukuwaonawa sinuzaonanso mpaka kale kale.
    Umangodziwiratu takowadi mu kanani

  60. Dpp is a party of intellectuals its a pity the likes of nankhumwa turned it into a party of roughnecks and loiters. Bingu and apm recruited the likes of engineer francis kasaila, chartered accountant Mwanavekha, lawyer Samuel tembenu and marketeer saulos chilima from the private sector into politics to serve Malawi. We are reclaiming the Bingu dream by limiting vendors from dpp. Apite ku utm komweko iyaaaaaaa. Get out!

  62. It seems that was the last option that DPP was left with. Now will Nankhumwa still continue to be leader of opposition? Is he going to be an Independent MP or his position will be declared vacant? Looking forward to hear what comes next for his fate.

  63. Chilima and Nankhumwa, same WhatsApp group. The first one resigned while the second has been fired. Muvi woyang’anira umalowa m’maso.

  64. zayambikapo. DPP will be finished like UDF. Nankhumwa practice civilized politics, he is undisputably the right person to lead DPP, i can see another party born from DPP.

  65. Blood all over none has been spared. Spears and guns are in the hands of amateurs the death toll will high because the greatest loss is the DPP. The gale is loose on all none will wear the same face having gone through this tornado.
    We hope the new DPP actors in town won’t read from their personal scripts but they’ll do whatever in accordance with the riot act enacted by the Beach Conference at Mangoche presided over by HE APM.
    Of course this political drama has not been lost on Malawian citizens and they are reading the script with keen interest. Hip hip hurrah champagne for DPP circus
