  1. This must not be an automatic transition, let the mighty MCP conduct primary election, after all it is just one constituency! After the death of Mwalwanda, I believe some also wanted to see the light to the same house, let it not be like Mulakho wa Lwomwe.

    1. I think they will go the normal way. He was just showing himself to the party pending primaries I hope.

  2. That’s not Dr C T Mwalwanda’s son , that’s his nephew, this is not a chieftaincy that the deceased should be replaced by the blood relative, in politics it is totally different whereby we go by people’s votes.
