MCP happy to welcome back Sosten Gwengwe

The opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has opened its arms to Former minister of Industry and Trade, who was also People’s Party (PP) running mate in the May 20 Tripartite Elections, Sosten Gwengwe.

Gwengwe, who lost his Dedza Central parliamentary seat to Malawi Congress Party’s (MCP) Daniel Chiwere, took a low profile after last year’s elections, saying he needed to recharge his batteries away from frontline politics and “reflect.”

The 37-year-old politician christened by many as “Ben 10” did not rule out a return at some stage.

He is now being linked to rejoin MCP, the party he dumped when he joined DPP and then PP.

Gwengwe has hinted that he is heading back to MCP and will withdraw his PP membership.

MCP secretary general Gustav Kaliwohas said the party will welcome back Gwengwe into the fold,
