Jappie Mhango to contest as DPP’s vice president

Treasurer General for the former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Jappie Mhango is eyeing for the position of the party’s vice president.

Mhango made the announcement yesterday at parliament building during a meeting with DPP’s Members of Parliament.

Speaking after the meeting, one of the meeting attendees Ralph Jooma said they are impressed with Mhango’s presentation.

Mhango’s desire is coming at a time the party changed its constitution on the position of vice president.

The party has said it will no longer be having regional vice president as it is the case right now.

Mid next year DPP will go to convention to elect new leaders of the party.

At the moment former President Peter Mutharika is the one leading the party.

Not long ago, some quarters within the party, called for an early convention but they were brushed off.
