DPP president, Peter Mutharika says what was held at PAGE house this Tuesday in Mangochi, was not a central executive committee meeting, but, a technical working group for an ongoing functional review of the party’s restructuring drive.
Mutharika through his spokesperson Shadric Namlomba says, the party’s secretary general, Griselda Jeffrey and Vice president for the south Kondwani Nankhumwa should not worry, as the meeting did not need their presence.
Political commentator Victor Chipofya Jnr has observed with shock the exclusion of the two from the meeting which he says needed their input and direction.
Chipofya adds, the further exclusion of the two on a forthcoming DPP rally slated for Blantyre is indication enough, Jeffrey and Nankhumwa are being sidelined in party activities despite an order by the court to reinstate them to the party’s file of decision making.
