Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) secretary general (SG) Grezelder Jeffrey has refuted reports that the rally scheduled for Sunday at Mgona in Lilongwe, will unveil a new political party.

Jeffrey told the media in Lilongwe that they remain loyal to DPP and that Kondwani Nankhumwa has been invited by her to be guest of honour in his capacity as the party vice-president for the south and as leader of opposition in Parliament.

She added that they are looking forward to the planned DPP convention to elect new office bearers.

In recent days, social media has been awash with reports that Nakhumwa will be launching a new political party known as Chilungamo Party.
