Thom Mpinganjira rejects fake news linking him to DPP leadership race: ‘No political ambitions’
Business mogul Dr. Thomson Frank Mpinganjira who retired from FDH Financial Holdings Limited, 21 years after he started the process of setting up the first ever home grown indigenous Malawian privately owned bank, has rubbished as “fake” reports linking him to the leadership race in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Social media platforms has been circulating pictures of aspirants to the DPP presidency and Mpinganjira’s photo was one of them.
However, in an interview on Friday morning, Mpinganjira said he was not amused to be linked to political leadership contest when he has not aspired.

One important quality of an effective leader is Morals and he lucks morals. He will simply be another thief at the state house. Why are we even talking about him in the state house. We have many better leaders with the right morals. Having lots of Money alone is not enough as a leader, we have all seen in the USA withTrump. Let the judges put Mpinganjiraa in his rightful corner ” Innocent until proven guilty”…i patiently wait

We don’t have any jealous with him but rather he was jealous of most Malawians no wonder he was associated with DPP thieves
Because of his accomplishments people definitely will want to give him a chance. We will force him to be our president. We the people are the ones who chose. Za thyolo ziri be ntchito
Ofcourse he is one of the cream of Malawi but u forgot one thing to mention as being the first Malawian to be accused of allegedly trying to bribe the Concourt Judges during p presidential court case of 2019.
The truth
Sangayelekeze especially when he has that case in court. Ask him again IF he gets acquitted.

court judgement will determine his political political future,10 kilimangalos to climb
Mukhaulatu, mmaona ngati kulamulira dziko ndichimodzimodzi sorting out dambwe issues, lero ndi izi, kummavina kang’wing’wi basi, nothing happening! Zisakukhuzeni, tisiyeni ife eni ake a DPP tasankha tokha, akhala Thom yemweyo!
Regardless of who stands for DPP in 2025, the party will not get the required 50% + 1. In other words, it will take a decade or more for this bunch of thieves to win again.
