Hurricane Callista part two: Ngalande exposes more MPs who are support of Chilima

Youth Director of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Lewis Ngalande has finally released a list of Members of Parliament who are behind the country’s Vice President Saulos Chilima ahead of the 2019 polls following the Hurricane Callista that hit the party last month.

In a letter seen by Faceofmalawi reporter, Ngalande has urged President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika to wake-up and call for party executive meeting, saying most the MPs in the party are not with him.

“While 50% of your members of parliament endorsed your Presidency in public, 75 % sneaked to your VP at nice and promised their allegiance there. This is bad and this is what is killing DPP everyday and making it a laughing stock.

“In case you do not know Mr. President, It is not only Kaliati, Ngumuya, Winiko, Masangwi and Ngalande who are championing for Chilima Presidency, there are people like Francis Kasaila, Obama, Aaron Sangala, Peter Kumpalume and Marison Ndau who you think are with you but they are in Chilima camp,” reads in part the letter.

Adds the letter: “DPP does not need camps, DPP must be one and it is you Mr.President who can put this to an end.

“Mr,President, what your assistant Bright Molande and his team are doing to instruct college students who came for a drinking spree at Sanjika, to attack your VP Chilima is another problem which is not making such squabbles end in your party.”

Ngalande has since asked President Mutharika to hold a meeting with Chilima to iron out their differences.
