Former Vice President for the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Kondwani Nankhumwa has said that he will contest as President in the forthcoming 2025 polls.
Nankhumwa said this in Ndirande Township in Blantyre yesterday after attending the induction of the Reverend Maxwell Ngwaya at Ndirande Makata CCAP congregation.
“My dreams to contest for the country’s State presidency next year are still alive and I want to assure you that next year, you will see me on the ballot paper.
“We need to move forward to see how best we are going to take care of ourselves politically. I am not going to any other political party and this week I will inform the nation on the way forward because a lot of supporters are asking questions,” said Nankhumwa.
Nankhumwa was expelled from the opposition DPP together with Grezelder Jeffrey, Nicholas Dausi, Mark Botomani, Cecilia Chazama and Kenneth Msonda.
His firing placed him in an awkward position as he is on the verge of losing the position of leader of opposition in Parliament to Dr. George Chaponda.
