Atupele’s resignation forces UDF to call for emergency meeting

United Democratic Front (UDF) has called for an emergency national executive committee (NEC) meeting this week to discuss the way forward following the resignation of its leader Atupele Muluzi.

UDF secretary general Kandi Padambo said in an interview yesterday that Atupele’s resignation came as a shock to party members from top to the grassroots.

His sentiments come a day after some UDF members in the Northern Region wrote his office, expressing their disappointment over Atupele’s move.

Muluzi’s resignation has attracted mixed reactions with many advising the party to do a soul searching ahead of the 2025 polls.

Atupele Muluzi has since unveiled his company which is based in UK.
