Nankhumwa, DPP top brass meet region leadership: Party to be on massive rebuilding
Fresh from defeat at the fresh presidential election on June 23, 2020, opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has already embarked on a massive rebuilding exercise in its Southern Region stronghold, the party’s Vice President (South), Kondwani Nankhumwa has disclosed.
He told reporters on Thursday, July 9, 2020 after meeting DPP Members of Parliament (MPs), regional, district and constituency committee members held at the Regional Headquarters in Blantyre that the party “will not go to sleep” but go back to the drawing board and do a serious post-mortem of its performance at the polls.
“Primarily, I held the meeting to convey our President, His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika’s deep appreciation to the leaders in the region for their loyalty, hard work and dedication, which led to massive votes for our candidate. The former President delegated me to meet the leaders and assure them that he will not abandon the party but ensure that it gets back into power when the next national elections take place.
“Professor Mutharika also sent me to inform the leaders that he would soon physically address public meetings across the region to personally thank Malawians for the massive number of votes that he got during the fresh election and the support they rendered him when he was in office as Head of State,” said Nankhumwa, who is also Leader of Opposition in Parliament.
Nankhumwa encouraged a spirit of love and togetherness among the leaders and all members of the party if it were indeed to return to power.
“There is strength in unity. Let us all move forward together as sons and daughters of Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika. Let’s draw from the 2012 experience when President Bingu wa Mutharika died in office and DPP lost power in the blink of an eye. Many MPs fled to work with the new government but some of us stayed on until we claimed what rightfully belonged to us in 2014. We can do that again this time round. But that would only happen if we remain loyal and united,” said Nankhumwa.
The Mulanje Central legislator said it is obvious that DPP supporters were disappointed but he informed the leaders to encourage party supporters at grassroots level to accept the election results and to move on. That will be the first step towards healing and rebuilding the DPP, he said.
The Leader of Opposition informed the leadership in the region that the party will soon hold grassroots meetings in all districts and constituencies in the region to map out the way forward.
Nankhumwa was accompanied at the meeting by DPP National Governing Council (NGC) members Joseph Mwanamveka, Brown Mpinganjira, Cecilia Chazama, Charles Kadziwe, Francis Mphepo, Dr. George Chaponda and Regional Governor, Charles Mchacha, among others.

Zikahongani atumbuka Apo bii boma simuzalionanso kunja mkwa 50+1 uku
Zugwilizana chani ndi atumbuka? NOSENSE!!!!!
The members of the NGC of the DPP are all lomwes from MJ, TO, and CZ.
The same old song. Nothing will change in Malawi. These are not servant leaders
Way to go DPP. We need a strong opposition in Parliament.
Kaya ndakayika, you won only in 2009, 2014/2019 rigging until la 40 litafika in 2020
That’s the way to go. The DPP lost its steam due to our internal squabbles, hate and backstabbing The smell of defeat started way before 2019 elections. Malawians cried for Bingu roughly within 2 years of his demise. I can sense Malawians realising the leadership we had in APM was a class a part sooner than we thought (in less than a year).
We may not be the party in power, Our job while we rebuild is to provide checks and balances to the current government with sanity and having the interest of Malawians at heart. I wish if APM could take the opportunity while thanking Malawians to honorably retire and offer guidance on our new path and let us choose leaders that will bring change and unity within our party. Lets focus.
He is going no where, dpp and udf are family parties. The moment their names are retouched from the parties, the parties are gone
No sane Malawian will miss the leadership of DPP under the ever absent APM.for 6 years since 2014,Malawi lacked leadership because APM never connected with his people.I agree he should graciously retire from active politics,wakula, hopefully your party will learn to accommodate all who wish to try their luck at the leadership position.DPP should open up to all tribes in Malawi to stand any chance of leading the country again.otherwise if it is going to be the same old story,Lhomwe party, forget it
About 2 Million registered voters in the southern region did not vote. This was a massive handicap that led to DPP/UDF
defeat and also Peter did not campaign
Enough. He might have reasons why he was not seen campaigning that much.
Next time you will need to mobilize your voters to turn up and vote. This is the key.
Do not relax from day one.
Thats the way to peace on the land. If one wins accept the loss i think tonse alliance should draw a lesson from this. Because what i remember very well is that 2019 elections were not rigged or tippex affected the valid candidate votes but it was a ploy just to oust APM out of jealousy and anger thats why they connived with courts to change consititution for 50+1 and encourage them to make alliance because they knew without alliance APM could not be easily removed from power. And bravo APM/AAM bcoz ur parties are strong; 9 parties scoring 2,600,000 against two parties with 1,600,000 so just rebuild the parties and come 2025 will bounce back looking at family ministers tiri nazozi ndiye nyekhwe kale imeneyo. And it is the first in history kuti president watulutsa cabinet anthu ndi kulira mpaka kakumana ndi president kuti asinthe its shameful! Mmbuyomu anthu amangodandaula apo ndi apo poti timadandaulo sitilephera koma mainly zimakhala issue mwina ya 50% for women representation basi.
Good luck
This kind of talk is why DPP will take time to regain power,you are not up to date with the reality.wake up and smell the coffee my friend.ndale za chigawo zatha,if your party will not embrace the whole Malawi ngati momwe mumachitira muja,chani palibe mpaka muyaya.50%+1 is the best thing that’s ever happened to Malawi.about cabinet be ashamed kuti mwatero.indeed anthu adandaula and indeed some went to meet the president.dont you see that as progress? president giving audience to people.akanakhala gogo wanu uja sibwenzi atangotitukwanapo basi.sit down and wait for fruits of Tonse Alliance government
Rebuild with Brown Mpinganjira, Dausi, Mwanamveka, Mchacha, and other Madeya? that rebuild will not bring you back in power, those are the people who made you lose, sweep them out, then your effort to rebuild will bear fruits. And again choose your Leader Now, we start getting used to him or her, otherwise all the best as you pick up the pieces…
DPP should identify its major weaknesses such as being a lomwe tribalist, violent and looting party, then remove those weaknesses ,and start to strengthen and rebuild the party by remodelling strategies.
Meeting ya mbava
@Malawi
Zokhazokha, kkkk
And also it’s not time for campaign now, mumangidwatu mmesa mumuletsa a opposition to do thank you rallies ndiye Munthalika azikathokoza chiani.No need for thank you rallies.chipani
choziwa kunyoza malamulo adziko. Corrupt party number one.
Koma kunjaku abale mpaka kukhala pa mthunzi nthawi yomweyii mwasauka kale a DPP? Mayinee mpaka anthu kukhala pa miyala no chairs ?Dziko limasintha abale.Osakapangila mnsonkhano ku Mount Soche abale apa taona nyekwe basi
We don’t need chipani chakuba ngati DPP in Malawi.
It is not for you to judge Sir. You are on wrong page.
We know you Malawi belong to citizens
Palibe zolamuratso a DPP mwatikwana heavy , expect after Chakweras 10yrs it’s Chilimas time another 10yrs. No reverse this time around .
Piece of advice on how u can rebuild the party.the party needs new face,the 80 yr old leader needs to go.secondly,spent forces like mphepo,chaponda,mpinganjira, mchacha, needs to be shown the exit door.thirdly,dodgy characters like ben phiri,chisale,getrude mutharika need to be kept at a distance.fourthly conduct elections and encourage youth participation .youth are in majority,dont waste time with old guards.lastly ,free the party from chains of tribalism.if that is not done,be certain of losing in 2025
Chipani musachitenge ngati cha anthu akimwela okha okha inu! Ponyanimo atumbuka omwe ali ku south kuno, asena, achewa, atonga , even angoni omwe mungathe kuwafikila.ku south kuno. Koma ngati zibwana zake zili zimene mukupangazi tsankho.kuwonekelathu, boma sitizatengaso chifukwa 50 + 1 ija ndiyovuta abale anga!!!!!!! Kalimbikiseni chipani ku mpoto….kapezeni anthu oti akalankhula.anthu akawamvele komaso akhale okhala bwino ndi anthu. Chimodzi modzi chigawo chapakati. Panopa kulamula boma ndi nkhani yophatikizana basi, MCP + UTM or MCP + DPP or DPP + UTM. Palibeso formula ina. Tiyeni titseguke mmaso. Ndale zakale zija zinapita basi. Panopa anthu akumpoto aja ndi amene akusankha president chifukwa ife kumwela ndi anzathu apakati timakhala ndi mbali zokhazikika. Kuwina boma nkulinga tikukhala bwino ndi anzathu.
The 80 year old “Pulofeso” Peter Muthalika, Joseph Mwanamveka, George Chaponda,Brown Mpinganjira, Leston Mulli, Francis Mphepo and many more others in DPP have proved beyond reasonable double to be the worst tribalists that Malawi has ever had, too Lomwelised.
Who will ever trust this combination in Malawi again and in particular in Central and Northern Regions? Let this crop of DPP leaders disappear on the plotical scene first they you can start rebuilding the DPP but it is too doubtful,the party will die just like UDF. Malawians will remember how DPP hated people from other Regions as we were approaching the 2020 fresh presidential elections, you called people names, Atumbuka,Achewa etc, you removed people from positions, the Nundwes,the Andrew Nyirendas as if they are Tanzanians or Burundus.Go to hell with your DPP!
Otsutsa akuchepela kabaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! DPP ikhalabe ikulamulila boma mpaka 2084 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! dpp woyeeeeeeeeeeeeee! APM woyeeeeeeeeeeeee, Nankhumwa woyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Mchachanso woyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Jef wa jef ali kuti? Azimayi nyimbo pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
