Mchacha says Kabambe not Mutharika’s party handpicked successor: DPP open contest

Main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has swung into the game of refutations following social media reports that party new catch Dalitso Kabambe has been handpicked by Peter Mutharika to be its next leader.

Kabambe  joins DPP

DPP regional governor for the south Charles Mchacha has also trashed reports that Kabambe is nephew to Mutharika as they all come from Thyolo District.

Kabambe, the former Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) governor was welcomed to the DPP on Friday in Blantyre, as a technocrat to help revive the party amid calls for transformational leadership.

His arrival at DPP has led to widespread speculation ahead of the party’s much awaited elective convention at a date not yet set.

In a statement, Mchacha explained that it is not true that Kabambe has been handpicked by Mutharika into the party.

Mchacha also dismisses remarks that Kabambe is related to Mutharika, saying Kabambe comes from Thyolo West while Mutharika hails from Thyolo East.

He further condemned what he terms as propaganda to bar other people from joining the party and contesting during an elective convention.

DPP vice president for the south Kondwani Nankhumwa is still seen as the front runner for the party presidency.

But Kabambe’s entry to the race brings health competition.

  1. Mr Mchacha dont forget Sir that MSCE anachita kukulembereni paja. Does HRDC or ACB know kuti MSCE munachita kulemberedwa pa Bvumbwe????? Mukulankhuladi monga munthu osaphunzira.

  2. A Mchacha we are not little kids, so stop insulting us. it’s written on the wall, we are just waiting what move Nankhumwa, Msaka, Atupele, mwanamveka, Chiponda, and Ben Phiri are going to make.

  3. I was listening to Dr dalitso kabambe in an galaxy fm program and suddenly macra messed with the galaxy fm signal just to interfere with his message. New party in power but same old tactics. Its useless to vote in Malawi let alone cancel elections, things never change.

  4. DDP won’t win any election with the likes of dumb Mchachas all over that party, they should work hard on image, people must not see it as lomwe party other wise it will be hard with 50 plus 1

  5. Bwana Mchacha, zinazi muziwasiirako ena amene adapitako ku sukulu aziyankha.Whenever you try to defend something, you end up doing the opposite.

  6. Dalitso Kabambe has made the biggest mistake of his life. Malawi politics is not kind to PhD holders or intellectuals in general…

    Kabambe would have done well to continue with his banking/finance career. His experience as RBM Governor would make him a strong candidate for senior positions at WB, ADB, IMF, COMESA, etc. Even locally he could be very competitive whenever there was a CEO vacancy at any of our local banks. Remember Pelekamoyo at Opportunity and NFB? Or Victor Mbewe at Stanbic?

    A career in politics will just erode most of his hefty gratuity from RBM – with nothing to show for it

    2. Continuing banking career. Mmm which bank would pay him k40 m a month. He should indeed try politics where stealing is made simple.

  7. Nkhani apa ndi pressure in Mulanjr central constitutudnce. Apa game aiponyera kutali. Ma creditials samanama.

  8. Kabambe is good material for party and Malawi presidency regardless of where he comes from. Let us not forget that chakwera himself was handpicked by John tembo and only rubber stamped at hastily re-scheduled convention.

    Remember mcp cancelled its first convention in 2013 after John tembo them as outgoing president noticed that lovemore munlo was going to carry the day. Jzu tembo didn’t want a Southerner to lead mcp so he postponed the convention.

    1. And pei called MCP and Chewas tribalists. Yes, maybe one can say that, but usually, the best tactic is to get a candidate to lead your party from your stronghold

  9. ” The two are not related because Kabambe comes from Thyolo West while Mutharika comes from Thyolo East”. Ofcource they can be related. What a load of rubbish from someone who is governor of a party.

    In a straight clean fight and if not for rigging, which DPP is notorious for, Kabambe is no match for Nankhumwa.

  10. So people can’t be related if one comes from east, and another from west of a district? Nchacha xul mulibedi kkk

    1. Komadi Thyolo m’mene wachepela mujamuja poti malo hafu ndi mitengo za tii ndiye anthu asakhale abalee. Atonama ndamodzi 🤔

    2. MCP yayamba kale kunkenkemera. There is no law that bars related people from joining politics, if the relation is true. MCP has lots of such relation with similar names: Kandodos, Mias, etc. Muithawa gemuyi
      Mwachepa

    3. Olo atakhala related vuto ndi chani! Chakwera is asewere to John Tembo, that’s why he was handpicked to lead the party, we know all this. Ndiye vuto lidzikhala zikachitika ku DPP kokha basi?

    4. You are a fool too, thats not a relevant index but if they were related, we should have known that long time ago when APM was in power. People have created such stories before just to frustrate party members. Does it mean if he is related to APM, he cant join the party? Chakwera is related to Tembo through their children, any fuss there?
