Things fall apart in PP: Mhango resigns over DPP links
Chairperson for former rulling Peoples Party (PP) South African Chapter Humphrey Mhango has resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Mhango confirmed his resignation in an exclusive interview with Nyasa Times from his base in South Africa on Tuesday 21st November
2017.
“I have resigned as PP’s Chairperson for South African Chapter with immediate effect and right away, I have entirely withdrawn my PP membership” said Mhango in a telephone interview.
“My decision follows the allegiance with the rulling Democratic Progressive Party. This party is highly linked to cashgate, nepotism and tribalism among other irresponsible acts therefore, I don’t want to be part of this” he said.
Mhango added that: “I am a very principled man and I was a loyalist for President Joyce Banda but what pp has done is total disappointment”.
The politician said he is the only member of the South African Chapter who has publicly announced his resignation.
“We are 10 of us in the main committee and so far I am the only one who has publicly bowed out. The rest of the members have been working underground since they are well known and some are serving at the
Malawi Embassy,” claimed Mhango.
He further revealed that he will be announcing his next move in due course.
“I will be coming home next month and I will announce my best move” said Mhango who is yet to officially tender his resignation to PP’s main executive committee back home.
But Nyasa Times understands that Mhango intends to join the main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
A section of PP members including former acting President and Vice President responsible for the Central Region Uladi Mussa and Parliamentary Spokesperson on Finance Ralph Jooma held talks with
President Peter Mutharika on a possible grand coalition ahead of the 2019 elections last Sunday at Kamuzu Palace.
It is also reported that PP is demandinding ministerial positions that of Finance, Economic Planning and Development and that of Justice and Constitutional Affairs.

But Mhango was a nobody in PP… just another noise making empty tin. Nzeru olo imodzi. Kapitani amwene.
Bwana Mohango well done, but then I question your judgement especially by saying “My decision follows the allegiance with the rulling Democratic Progressive Party. This party is highly linked to cashgate, nepotism and tribalism among other irresponsible acts therefore, I don’t want to be part of this” . Are you sure you are not following the same things you are fighting against? Cashgate, nepotism and tribalism is in DPP more than PP. ….please leave PP yes but think twice where to head to next….
If he is indeed principled he should have left PP kale because of Cash gate yomwe akunenayo… anither originator and giant of nepotism …ngati ena anganya anzake
I salute you
koma abale inu kuchoka Humphrey apa chipani chatha basi,ine wakongelesi ndi kondwa zedi mutabwera kwathu ku MCP chifukwa inu mmalimbikira ntchito mchipani
This is the guy who tirelessly worked for the party using his resources,now that he has left its a blow to PP
oh my God,whats happening with our party,Mhango was a very dedicated member who used his resources for the party,will miss you Humphrey
So UDF is gone, swallowed by DPP. PP which was already half gone will completely go soon. DPP is in the swallowship business. Surprisingly the party continues to lose popularity. I urge MCP not to be shaken by these weak alliances. The writing is on the wall. MCP just need to intensify intraparty democracy to attract more admiration from crowd pulling politicians. DPP is not sleeping well with the 5-1 defeat and will try all means to strengthen their party. But in as far as I am concerned time is not on their side. The main issues of concern are… Read more »

Viva MCP!
