The former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has expelled its former Vice President for the Southern Region Kondwani Nankhumwa, former Secretary General Grelzeder Jeffrey, Cecelia Chazama, Nicholas Dausi and Mark Botomani.
Aside from expelling Nankhumwa and others, the party has also removed some members from their positions in the National Governing Council (NGC) and suspended them for nine months.
Nankhumwa and the others were accused of playing a leading role in the organisation of the December 6 2023 National Governing Council (NGC) meeting.
Those affected are Henry Matemba, Joseph Mabvuto Kachali, Kondwani Ng’ong’ola, Shafee Khamisa, Brave Mkwezalamba, Marriam Chimbalanga, Dumisani Lindani, Baxter Kita, and Lameck Rajab Malimba.
A statement from the party, signed by party spokesperson Shadric Namalomba, said this development follows the meeting by the central committee held on January 20, 2024 after the disciplinary hearing.

“The party calls upon its members to respect and abide by the above resolutions, to desist from any misconduct in the Party and never to undermine and disrespect the leadership at any level within the structures of the party. The Party will not hesitate to take any disciplinary action against any misconduct,” reads part of the statement.
Efforts to speak to the individuals affected proved futile as they did not pick up our calls.
