Nankhumwa under DPP fire: Accused of plotting revolt
The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has summoned its vice president for the South, Kondwani Nankhumwa for a disciplinary hearing on Friday.
According to a letter signed by the party’s disciplinary committee secretary Charles Mhango, some of the charges levelled against Nankhumwa include failure to authenticate his academic qualifications and misleading the party’s president Peter Mutharika.
The DPP is also accusing Nankhumwa of allegedly plotting a revolt, imposing himself as Leader of Opposition when Mutharika had reportedly settled for George Chaponda.
“When the president told you that he had chosen Honorable George Chaponda as Leader of Opposition, and you as Chief Whip you refused and sent him a ‘Bye’ message,” reads part of the letter seen by Nyasa Times.
Before the DPP lost power in the 2020 Presidential Elections, Nankhumwa was Leader of Government Business in Parliament. He also served as a cabinet minister in the Mutharika administration.
Nankhumwa, who has long been touted as one of the frontrunners to succeed Mutharika and is currently Leader of Opposition in Parliament, has confirmed about the development.
“I have been summoned indeed,” he said briefly.
Asked if there are cracks in DPP, Nankhumwa said “no comment.”
Political analyst Ernest Thindwa of Chancellor College—a constituent college of the University of Malawi—said DPP is on “self-destruction” mode.
DPP lost in the June 23 2020 Fresh Presidential Election to the nine-party Tonse Alliance led by MCP president Lazarus Chakwera who partnered Mutharika’s then estranged Vice-President Saulos Chilima of UTM Party on the presidential ticket.
Peter Mutharika took over the leadership of DPP after the death of his brother, Bingu wa Mutharika in April 2012, propelling the party to victory in the 2014 Tripartite Elections.

AFORD inatha choncho dyera and power struggle. UDF inatha choncho dyera and power struggle. DPP ikutha chimodzi modzi, dyera and power struggle. POLITICIANS will never learn.
It is these party whose agenda is to serve personal interests. Dpp chipani chokanganira. Chiri ngati galimoto ya car breaking basi. Nankhumwa akufuna engine, Chaponda gearbox and other windscreen. Chotsalacho (chassis) adzadziwa chochita nacho ndi registrar of parties.
Watching today’s Nankhumwa disciplinary hearing from a distance.
Ndi nkhondo ya Alomwe iyi, kulimbilana u president wa DPP, osayilowerela ungathyoke mwendo, akathana atiuza.
Hon Kennedy Musonda saw it coming, I think whatever he has been saying he was sent by APM no wonder the party never summons him whenever he makes strong sensitive statements whether be it against his own party or government.
This Musonda man is APM’s blue eyed boy koma bwanji sanabe nawo mu DPP, i don’t understand his politics, it’s mind troubling!!!
The problem with dpp is that the hierarchy is not clear. There are two vice presidents who are MPs and that is Bright Msaka and George Malemia. Chaponda is an MP but is of a lower rank. It is now good to hear that Nankhumwa has questionable qualifications. He was just born a crook. Anyway musova ife tinathana nanu pa 23 June 2020.
Sad that DPP is now in this self destruction mode. We warned you that if you get rid of SKC, the party will never hold.
DPP was never a party. It was taken as a private company, headed by a mumble mafia
Who can trust George Chaponda to be the leader of opposition?? Chaponda Chimanga is one of dangerous species in August house.
I would rather trust this guy of university of Jerusalem so called Ben Phiri coz he is honest with his qualification than Chaponda who is not honest with Maize gate.
Dausi who is not honest with the price of Underwear and Cups from Dubai.
The fire is raging. None has enough water to stop it. Whoever started it should be feeling self importance in his breast for Malawi will not have a credible opposition as DPP is now sliding into self destruction. The DPP house is burning itself into irretrievable ashes. Bye bye to multiparty welcome one party politics,the DPP actors are wobbling their tongues are just frothing at the mouths. The DPP is in the ICU no strategic management reactions emanating from daily firefighting
Now we know why Nankhumba carries a loaded gun! ……shaaaaAaa
Wait a second? Is Mr Maliseche The Supreme Ruler of DPP kingdom?
Zomwe tikufuna kuti muzikanga, band igawane zida
If you frustrate this guy know that that is the end of your party you people. He is the only sane guy in your group. You are thinking of Chaponda of the Kaloswe maize deal. But that will lead you nowhere.
Kaloswe of Zambia He! Heeeeeeee! kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Yes, DPP is now in the Intensive Care Unit. Mutharika and his lieutenants are busy destroying the party which took them a legion of resources to build. Shame, go ahead, kick out Nankhumwa and lose your grip of Mulanje and Phalombe. SKC, Please! Do the needful, do not waste time, if DPP kicks out Nankhumwa please, entice him to join you. He is a political asset. After all you DPP idiots who told you that politics and education are inseparable. We have had presidents in the world who never went to the Universities but performed exceptionally well during their tenure of office. Has DPP forgotten that they had a Law Professor as their president who performed very poorly. Shame on all of you who are advocating for Nankhumwa’s axing.
So DPP had only find out now that Kondwani Nankhumwa was born as George Malemia???
Many people told u b4 but u were not listening , why now?? DPP killing each other like it’s no body business
The end of the Roman Empire.
A Na-nkhumba, matama mumapanga asking The President silly, irrelevant questions in Parliament aja udindowo mudzipatsa nokha????????
Self destruction. Mr. Nankumwa please.reveal all the rot in DPP. DO NOT GO DOWN ALONE
Anthu oziwonera patali ananena kale izi. Ameneyo ndiye Brown Mpinganjira at his best. He wants to get rid of Nankhumwa BUT if this happens then the extinction of DPP will be at hand.
Good development
Now you’ll know the real Nankhumwa.
kodi APM akulimbana naye bwanji mwanayu?
likely its bad advice from Brown and company.
Things Fall Apart. The Centre Can No Longer Hold.
A DPP mukafuna mboni pa nkhani ya certificate ndilipo ine
Tsegulani nkhani iyi tipangenso comment
Zio ine ukuvabwanji pamenepo , DPP into self destruction . Hope u understand now what politics is all about.
Take some cold vodka and cool yourself , u so called Zio ine.
That was not a win in 2014 but he stole votes again. No wonder Mbendera passed away
Those calling to discipline Nakhumwa are agents of Tonse alliance to kill DPP then there will be no opposition poor Malawi
Ndiwe wopepera cadet wamva. Muphana nokha ife ku mastand ndi tonse alliance kukuonerani agalu inu
Ife a Tonse Alliance till busy kuyendetsa Boma ndeu ya pachiweni-weni tiribe nayo attend
Hon Nankhumwa deserved to be heard like Hon Mhango had rightly put it. Mlandu sitingogamula popanda kumva mbali zonse. However if these charges against Hon Nankhumwa are true, then the behaviour of Hon Nankhumwa is very unfortunate. A party is bound by its constitution and a good leader observes its dictates. Hon Nankhumwa was not supposed to self impose and act rudely to APM, the party president, for whom he has served for the last 6 years under different ministerial positions.
Hon SG, Gelzeldar should be the counselor to all party members Not to lead destruction of her own party. The organisation that you show today, while in opposition, gives you a better chance of your come back. Your supporters are expecting real leadership like the one we saw between 2012 to 2014 when the similar situation happened. When you lose today, you do not lose tomorrow coz tomorrow is another different day.
Sober up young politicians……dekhani and wait for the right time. Leadership sathamangira….as a result you let others trump on you.
The chicken have come home to roost (sic)
CHIPANI CHATHA ICHI..
Would it be wrong to conclude the DPP is a one man party going with this? There is only one His Excellency and that one is not Mutharika. This fact does not seems to be obvious to DPP diehards. Mr Nankhumwa, you are an MP in your own right. Why don’t you walk away. Be an independent MP.
why should the education accusations come out now after this boy has been a senior minister and has served senior government positions for a long time.? smelling rats!!!!!
😳😳
The man has led to downfall of many of his friends and its now time of reckoning. . Also probe him on the deal where he influenced purchase of vehicles at the army which led to the firing of General Odilo.
George Chaponda is a thief. He stole UN allowances and payments to our soldiers paid to Malawi Embassy New York when he was Foreign Minister. If DPP chooses Chaponda the thief than sadly that is the end of DPP.
First Nankhumwa should prove he is educated or no.Chaponda is educated but he is a thief.who is clean in Dpp?
Ok we are following,wants to know more how will the case ends.
Goodbye APM, 👋.
Mutharika is out and finished. A spent force,with nothing to do but go to prison for the rest of his life or make a run for America to spend the rest of his miserable and lonely life there. DPP should be smart and elect a leader who is young and vibrant for if it retains its supporters in southern region, than DPP MCP will win the next election. This Tonse government of Talk Talk Chakerwa is failing. And if Tonse fails SKC is too a looser. Elect a young vibrant leader DPP look at Nankhumwa just like Mutharika he has no presence. No gravitas. Mutharika looked lost during his rule, secured only by rigging his first term and start of second term, the idiot hardly could be understood when President. Even Gertrude is looking for pleasure elsewhere with Amwenyes like Chunara
Hear, hear. This man tells it how it is. Mutharika was like a mental patient. He should be made to repay the trillions he stole. As should George Chaponda
Please give Gertrude my number but wait she is old and is nursing APM.
So Mr. Analyst you are saying APM must not impose koma
Nankhumwa should impose himself? Mr analyst kapena Nankhumwa Employee?
NANKHUMWA looks ngati wabwino ndipo sakwiya koma he is evil.
