Mutharika tells DPP governors to ignore Nankhumwa
Former president Peter Mutharika has told governors of his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to ignore embattled vice president for the south Kondwani Nankhumwa and his faction and recognize the new leadership the national governing council has appointed.
Mutharika issued the order on Monday when he met district governors from the eastern region at his residence in Mangochi.
However, the order could be in contempt of court as Nankhumwa, party secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey and treasurer general Jappie Mhango obtained a court injunction reinstating the party from removing them in their positions in the party.
The governors were led by the party’s vice president for the eastern region, Bright Msaka and the regional governor Sheikh Imran Mtenje.
Mutharika told the governors that they should recognise the newly appointed leaders who include Samuel Tembenu as secretary general and Joseph Mwanamvekha who is now vice president of the party for the south.
Several governors who spoke during the audience expressed their loyalty to the former State President and their support for the steps that the leadership has put in place for the rebuilding of the party.
The governors unanimously agreed to strengthen the party and denounced those who were leading camps in the party, saying this would frustrate the restructuring efforts.
They therefore lobbied the President and the leadership to deal decisively with those trying to destabilise and hijack the party.
The governors also encouraged the party president to continue leading the party up to the next convention to be held tentatively in 2023 where the party will elect it’s leadership.
Last week governors from the Southern Region also visited the former State President at his lakeside retirement home in Mangochi.
They all leave the retirement home of the former president with blue envelops containing cash handouts.

If they wanted to build the party and didn’t want Nankhumwa to be part of, they should have chosen better people not the Mwanamvekas – in fact he is already on a deathbed both physically and morally.
I would urge Nankhumwa to respect the Leadership as opposed to fighting the leadership.
NOT Dzanjalimodzi but Ishumael CHAFUKIRA, CADET usatinamizepo apa Luspicious Dzanjalimodzi sanavutitsepo ku MCP, ANALI mmodzi mwa atsogoleri abwino ku MCP.
Before Chakwela, ku Mcp kunali dzanjalimodzi, ananukha ngati mphila kapena utomoni. Ask where is he now?. Nankhumwa is a toddler playing at the deep end.
It is ‘restraining’ osati ‘reinstating’. Mwachitika bwanji makanda inu?
U are the one useless like your parents.if u are not part of the blue tick say nothing be frustrated as u.izi zaku banja la blue team zisakukhudzeni
We are waiting for the chewa to bite skc and others who thought can change a hyena. Remember the voting numbers did not change. It was just an addition of mcp and utm as directed by the biased courts
Muchila koma mochedwelako osadanda
Nankhumwa is destroying himself politically. People like JZU and Chimango survived because they were loyal and had discipline. Fighting Muthalika will not take George Malemia anywhere.
JZU & Chimango were loyal to what??????
Nankhumwa is fighting chitanda. Mutharika wasala madzi angati? Olo nyumba ija samaliza ngati m’bale wake Bingu. Amai qja amasukeno ku Mangochi zikuvuta kuchapa ndodo. Ku statehouse ma room too much chisale amawachosa stress
I we mazira zakukhuza cha
But Mazira has a point baba!! defending un defendable or simukuzitsata bho bho eti? by the way this article was again appeared last of last week! nonsense!
Stupid people of Malawi. These blind morons, they already know that Mutharika is finished, but still they r singing and worshiping him, for what? Plz Malawians, this is not the time to worship these clueless leaders, more especially this old man, Mutharika. The guy is useless and hopeless, i rest my case
Polani moto, Joe Biden is 77 years old but he’s just joining the presidential race wawina Ndipo 36 hrs siinathe, nkhalamba Yatha itha Peter anakulakwilani chani?
Kapena anakukana chibwenzi? Don’t call the former president useless, iwe olo ku banja kwanu wachitapo chani, ndimadana ndi anthu onyoza
He should go where he came from and this is not his home.Tell him to leave for Mozambique. A guy who has no teeth in his mouth Foolish!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its unfortunate that you hate Mutharika so much so that nothing can teach you virtue
This is a reality we can not waist our worshiping to someone who is already finished let others take over
I agree with you Malawians do not think accordingly.If they want to squander his money together they should not do in this manner.I am also surprised why is peter muthalika still using Lion puppet as if he is the President of Malawi.
Abwana dont be naive. Ask Nyasa times kuti picture aikayo ndiyaliti?
