Mangochi Lutende MP Idrissa dumps PP: Ned Poya leads UDF in House

Member of Parliament for  Mangochi Lutende constituency, Idrissa Pongolani Kazembe  has resigned from the People’s Party (PP) of former president Joyce Banda, the Speaker of Parliament announced on Friday.

Ned Phoya: Leads UDF in the House

Speaker Cathering Gotani Hara made the announcement at the start of National Budget session of Parliament.

She said MP Kazembe has since asked to be allocated in the independent seat in th House.

Nyasa Times understands that Kazembe will be associating with   governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance.

The Speaker also announced that since UDF leader in the House Lilian Patel was appointed in the Cabinet, the party has changed its front bench.

MP Ned Poya of Zomba Ntonya  who was the party chief whip is now the leader in the House while the  deputy leader of the party in the 193-strong House  Rodrick Khumbanyiwa, an MP in Chikwawa, becomes the chief whip.

Phoya also spoke as leader of UDF to confirm the Speaker’s announcements.

In the May 21 Tripartite Elections, DPP won 62 seats, MCP and independents got 55 each with UDF getting 10, PP won five (now they have three since Kamlepo Kalua of Rumpi West also resigned).

UTM Party won four seats and Alliance for Democracy (Aford) has one.

  1. Just you wait. There will an exodus from UDF, DPP and Independents after MCP/UTM Alliance starts ruling. We know DPP has stashed away K7billion to bribe greedy MPs, TAs, Vendors and other fainthearted guillible citizens.
    By all means receive the spoils, after all it’s your money but please vote wisely to avoid regretting afterwards.

  2. Mr Idrissa Kazembe, takunyadirani chifikwa mwachoka ku m’gwilizano wa anthu a nkhanza a MCP, UTM, CFT ndi HRDC.

    1. Poti wina waku Ntcheu anachoka ku DPP kupita ku UTM, winanso waku Rumphi Central anachoka ku DPP kupita ku MCP.Zobvuto la anthu enanu a ku SOUTH ndiloti ndinu a sankho komanso wodzikonda heavy.Chiffukwa choti ma president onse four after multiparty achokela ku south mukuwona ngati sidzingasinthe.Ulendo wina mwawuponda poti a china Kaliati,Sidik Mia, JB,ndi ena ku SOUTH komweko akusokonezani heavy? Mudala wanuyo akuchoka ku state house basi?

      1. Where was Kamuzu who ruled through MCP for 30 years? Central region. For the north, you killed AFORD yourselves because of selfishness and kusayamika. MCP is tribalistic. Northreners are the worst tribalists who think everything should be theirs. Who dominates the courts? Where do most judges come from? If it had been the south, what would you people have said?

  3. Rest in peace, don’t come back and say you were influenced by satan after the elections…..

    1. Idrissa has made the RIGHT decision. We people in his constituency support him. We don’t want him to associate with Malawi CROCODILES Party (MCP), a party that has terrorised us for 12 months with UTM and HRDC.

  4. Idrissa Kazembe mwana wakwathu ameneyo mudzi umodzi apo pa Namalaka. Inu kwathu ife ndiku bed room ya udf ndi dpp. Munya muona agalu agule inu

    1. Ife tikumusapota Idrissa. Good move. There is no reason why he should be part of TONSE aliance which is full of violent people – Chakwera, Chilima and Mtambo.

  5. Good move. Joyce Banda has lost it after selling our jet, stealing through cashgate and working with the Malawi Crocodiles party.

    1. Silly BRAIN WASHED Cadet Joyce Banda put a STOP to Cash Gate after hiring an Accounting firm to do an audit of the Finsncial Records
      Currently 19 of your DPP cadet Friends are before the court as of May 26th with a case to answer June 15th NOT including the ones pardoned by the President and the future ones still to be.convicted.

      1. Joyce Banda did that as a cover up. The thieves – Kasambara, Mphwiyo – were instructed by her to steal. Mwatiyesa opus ife eti. Nanga ndege anayipititsa kuti.

        1. Okuba timamunga, mumangeni kaa osamangolubwalubwa kaperekeni umboni wanu koyenerera simuli mboma momo angakuvuteni kumumanga

  6. No Worries the way these Members of Parliment jump from one party to the Next does not matter which party assisted them during Elections.

    Likely why 68% are NOT RE-Elected

      1. Indeed, when Chakwera sends MCP thugs to chase people who come from the southern region it is not tribalism. Indeed, when Nsundwe Boys are killing people its not tribalism. Idrissa has made the right decision to leave PP which is now associating with the violent MCP.

      1. ngati a lomwe simukonda school ndiye mumati mungakhale ma judge? alomwe koma kukonda chisembwere basi kuchita kumadyera gondolosi

        1. If you revisited the history of High Court, you would descover it’s the Lhonwes who dominated as Judges. They even produced four chief justices in history of the land. There many of them who are lawyers but opted for working in private institutions.

        1. The tumbuka judges e have now came through a corrupt system called ‘Mzuzu Corner’ at Chancellor College where tumbuka lecturers were giving exam papers and assignments to tumbuka students to help them pass. That Mzuzu Corner was broken and in a few years time, other regions will have judges too at the High court and Supreme court.
