Jooma named PP vice president, Matola confirmed as secretary general: Updated
People’s Party (PP) has named Member of Parliament for Mangochi Monkey Bay, Ralph Jooma as its new vice president and former energy minister Ibrahim Matola has been confirmed as its secretary –general.
The party has however not filled the position of vice president (south), saying the leadership is making “consultations.”
Previous holder of PP vice president (south), Brown Mpinganjira resigned from the party and secretary-general Paul Maulidi was expelled following a fall-out with the party’s leadership.
Matola has been acting in his position but was waiting for the endorsement by the party’s national executive council.
Matola who once served as minister energy during the PP’s two-year term has since pledged to help reposition and strengthen the party in order to reclaim power from Democratic Progressive Party’s administration.
He joined PP after defecting from UDF where he was parliamentary leader.
Meanwhile, PP spokesman Ken Msonda has said the party will compete in the forthcoming byelections.
The elections will be conducted in five wards which include Luchenza Ward in Luchenza Municipal Council, Zomba Central Ward in Zomba City Council, Msikisi Ward in Mangochi Town Council, Chibanja Ward in Mzuzu City Council and Khwawa Ward in Karonga District Council.
Other major parties such as the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), United Democratic Front (UDF) and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) have also confirmed their participation in the elections.
Northerners pull out of this madness .they will forever want to use you.
How come the party has a majority of members of the party from the Northern region and all big position comes from the eastern region . Better join MCP and strategise for 2019.
Fight for working alliance with them. Let ALomwe and Ayao team up.
Malawii, wait for another wave. Ayao
Jb chipani basitu. Or mdzatipatse ndalama pa campaign tidzalandira poti mzathu zomwe koma asakuvoterani.

Filling position of PP or not it wont change anything. PP is full of failing people. Anthu opanda nzeru they missed an opportunity what else can they do. Chipani cha PP sindidzachikhululukila, anavina ndikusangalala ndi imfa ya Bingu, afiti anthu opanda chisoni.Anthu osafunila anzawo zabwino ma satanic.

ngati mpinganjira wazisiya ndiye jooma ndi ndani? chipani chatha chimenechi chipani chakuthakochi…chinangobwrra kuzatibera ndalama basi….kagwereni uko
kudya zotsalira, makombo kkkkkk
The last best thing Joyce Banda can do for her PP is to make Ralph Jooma prezdnt. This UNIMA Poly alumni southener is politically mature though young and is a serious 2024 prezdential hopeful. Let’s be frank here there’s too much regionalism in Malawi and bcoz of that akumpoto ndi apakati alibe tchansi. Anthu akummwera makes over 50% of Malawi population kungot chifukwa ngothamangathama many hav settled in the centre and north komabe amavota ngat akummwera. Munaona bwanj MCP yapasenta ili mmanja mwa Gwanda wakummwera 1999 Bakili sanapumile nkhwapa? Go Jooma go. Akummwera ambiri akuPoly we r behind u.
Nothing new just bafoons seeking attention for a Party whose sale by date is long gone.
A Matola ulemu wanu osati za Maulidi there was no direction
Amai anakawina if this was done prior to the just ended electoons Gwengwe anawaluxitsa amai nanga munthu kuluza ndi u MP womwe good luck. Jooma
Inde tilowanso my boma 2024!!!!!!!
Choose a President as soon as possible please if the repositioning has to bear fruits. With the run away Cashgate suspect you are doomed
Kodi Joyce Band azabwera liti?
Does it mean that he has no confidence in his vice?
Peoples Party spokesperson should come in the open and tell us the truth.
Is Ralph Joomo’s appointment necessary at this moment or it is Joyce Banda’s move to take the party to her political base eastern region from the north in readiness for 2019 elections?
Ken Msonda what is happening?
PP My Foot
Good choice PP, you can beat DPP in a transparent free and fair elections.
Big up Jooma!!!!!
Bwana musonda please tell us what is this nonsense we are hearing?
Does it mean jb is not coming soon?
Is the party for eastern region yaos like udf?
This is the mistake bakili muluzi made to distroy udf.
I feel sorry for my once beloved pp, chipani chitha ngati makatani!
Can this be true!
Ralph Joomo ndi Sosteni Gwengwe akusiyana chani?????????????????? PP will never transform forget about bouncing back in government.
I see joice banda behind the move repositioning pp 2019 presidency for her son roy kachale banda.pp yanyamuka sizabwereranso m’boma!
pp yazgoka chipani cha bachawa baku eastern region; president jb eastern region, secretary general matola eastern region, deputy secretary general mrs chikuni eastern region, national director of youth mpofutisi eastern region.
bakumpoto mwazgoka mayembi para mwarima balije namwe ntchito. zaninge ku aford chipani cha bena mpoto!
If it is true that the party spokesperson refused to confirm and referred the matter to matola then something is terribly not adding up. mpanikizeni musondayo what has happened anena, he is a straight forward politician.
Zalowa uchawa
Ralph Joomo! Ooooh my foot! The youngman has nothing to offer on the ground! Political parties in malawi don’t learn fro their past mistakes.
PP failed miserably during the 2014 tripartite general elections because of such blunders when it brought in little known sosten gwengwe as running mate instead of political heavyweights the likes of khumbo kachali, sidik mia, uladi mussa or brown mpinganjira.
PP itha ngati makatani!
The party’s politcal base is in the north with over 20 mos but jb is trying to shift the base by appointing people from her political home base – eastern region!
Ndale za pa malawi too much tribalism and regionalism.
All parties need coloured VPs I guess
Chikuoneka ngati chipanichi ndi cha ku Zomba and Mangochi basi, but there are already strongholds there of UDF. Therefore let us conclude that the party is finished.
Mbewa zikatha………………………
