Tembo speaks on defections, says he still is MCP

Former Malawi congress Party (MCP) President, John Zenus Ungapake Tembo, has come out to speak on the defections that have hit his party of late.

Tembo was speaking to a local radio station and he described all the defectors as cowards and failures.

Tembo, accused then of blocking the ex SG of the party Chris Daza who has since moved to PP, said that the people who have defected were never MCP and were only pretending to be of the party; thus, their defections.

The veteran politician who announced that he will be completely quitting active politics come next year also dismissed reports that circulated over the weekend that he is the next person to quit MCP and go to PP.
