July 1, 2021 Nyasa Times Reporter 6 Comments As political drama continues to unfold in the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Member of Parliament (MP) for Chiradzulu South who is also former Finance Minister, Joseph Mwanamveka is to drop out of the race for the party leadership and will throw his support behind Dr Dalitso Kabambe, an inside source close to his campaign has confirmed. The source claimed that after realising that his campaign is not lifting to the level where he would win the party presidency at the forthcoming convention, Mwanamveka has decided that the best option under the circumstances is to pull out of the race and support a candidate who he thinks is the favourite of the rank and file in the party, and a candidate who has the support of Peter Mutharika, the outgoing party President. Kabambe is seen among many as Mutharika’s blue-eyed boy and his anointed ‘heir to the throne’.
