Former Vice President (South) for the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Kondwani Nankhumwa, recently outsmarted by his law professor boss, Peter Mutharika, says has reluctantly welcomed the Supreme Court ruling which has dismissed an application challenging his removal from the party position.
In a statement issued soon after the ruling, Nankhumwa says he will soon announce his next political direction.

The remarks come just hours after Supreme Court Judge, Dorothy NyaKaunda Kamanga threw out an application in which he was challenging his removal from the position of vice President of the party.
Others are former secretary general Grelzelder Jeffrey, and former director of women Cecilia Chazama.

I hope it’s not about creating another party. It won’t work. It’s time to moot out the most viable combinations from the younger politicians. Ask if in doubt. Open up to a discourse that will put forward the best team for Malawi, including the core cabinet of 10 women and 10 men.
