Nankhumwa adamant: “Why disciplinary action as if I have broken party law?”

August 3, 2023 Alick Phiri – Contributor 2 Comments

Battle lines are solemnly drawn between Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika camp and that of Kondwani Nankhumwa, with Nankhumwa hinting that he will not present himself before the Disciplinary Committee of the party.

DPP has summoned the DPP vice president for the Southern Region to a disciplinary hearing to defend himself against charges bordering on contravention of party constitution and undermining the leadership of the party.

Nankhumwa’s summoning comes barely a week after the party’s spokesperson, Shadric Namalomba, had vowed to the media that the erstwhile governing party would apply every trick in the book of politics to get rid of the camp opposed to the endorsement of Mutharika for the 2025 presidential elections.

This was after Nankhumwa, Secretary General Greselder Jeffrey and Yusuf Nthenda openly challenged resolutions the party made at its recent National Governing Council (NGC) meeting at Nkopola Lodge in Mangochi where the cadres endorsed APM to be the torchbearer in the 2025 presidential elections.

In reaction to the summons on Monday, the DPP presidential aspirant said he could not understand why the party leadership would decide to subject him to disciplinary action.

He argued that he had not broken any law of the party by conducting whistle-stop tours.

Nankhumwa added that his party’s constitution allows him to conduct rallies anywhere and that he will continue doing so as long as he holds his current position of DPP vice president for the South, Leader of Opposition as well as member of Parliament for Mulanje Central Constituency.

Political commentator Chimwemwe Tsitsi backed Nankhumwa’s position on the matter.

Cracks and divisions have been reigning supreme since the DPP since the party lost power to the Tonse Alliance, which is led by the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

  2. Koditu a Nankhumwa Matama ONSEWA aliyense akuziwa koma akuchokera.
    Koma nthawi imazakwana yokha ndipo Mulungu azayika zinthu zonse malo ake poyenera posatengera kuti ma court ndi boma amakhala mbali yako.

    We all know kuti ma court athu ku Malawi kuno anadana nayo DPP kothelatu ndipo analonjeza kupanga chilichonse chotheka kuti DPP isazalowenso M’boma. Izizi sizikutengelanso kt DPP ikusogoleledwa ndi ndani AYI. Including Nankhumwa yemweyo iyeyu sakuziwa kuti akukakamira ku Chipani chomwe Judiciary anachipanga kale disown.

    Panopa Nankhumwa akumukondera chonchi chifukwa CHOTI akumugwilisa ntchito ngati agent wawo posokoneza ku DPP komanso kt DPP ikhale ungovernable. Kungoti bwana Nankhumwa za izi sakuziwa kuti iwowo akugwilisidwa ntchito.

    We also know kuti MCP is sponsoring Nankhumwa via him directly and on the other side kupeleka ndalama ku m court ndi ma lawyers onse kuti azikhala mbali ya Nankhumwa ndipo chili chonse angakasume Nankhumwa mlandu uzimukomera.

    Apapa so Nankhumwa sakuziwa kt akumugwilisa ntchito ngati agent wawo pokwanilisa zokhumba zawo zokhalabe mu boma.

    Zoona zake mzakuti Nankhumwa ma sangawinise DPP and even MCP and judiciary knows this so akupanga Dala izi kuti a Nankhumwa atenge mpando ku DPP.

    BUT I WANT TO SAY THIS, WHETHER NANKHUMWA, JUDICIARY AND MCP CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING NOW, DPP WILL STILL FINALLY FIND A WAY OUT WITH THE HELP OF GOD. INFACT THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST BATTLE TO WIN DURING JB WE HAD CHILIMA AND HIS CAMP.

    MULUNGU AKUNVA KULIRA KWA A MALAWI NDIPO ATIYANKHA. ITHA OSAZAKHALA DPP KOMABE GOD WILL GIVE US A LEADER OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT WHAT WE HAVE NOW. NOT EVEN NANKHUMWA
