Leader of the People’s Development Party (PDP), Kondwani Nankhumwa, has accused the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of playing political games aimed at blocking him from contesting for the position of Speaker of Parliament.

Political and governance analysts have expressed mixed reactions to President Peter Mutharika’s recent government appointments, raising concerns about gender representation and the slow formation of a full cabinet.

Political analysts have cautioned that the decision by independent Members of Parliament (MPs) to join political parties after elections could undermine public trust and weaken democratic accountability.

Presidential advisor for the UTM party, Newton Kambala has announced his resignation from the position effective today.
