Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has lambasted fresh calls for convention by the party’s Secretary General Grezelder Jeffrey.
The party last year fired Jeffrey together with leader opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa, Jappie Mhango and others for allegedly calling for Peter Mutharika’s retirement and an early convention.
The fired members had to seek for court intervention for them to be reinstated.
Jeffrey wa Jeffrey has since re-ignited the debate after calling for the party convention again.
But in a statement, the party’s spokesperson Brown Mpinganjira has trashed the calls.
“The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its entire Leadership at all levels would like to disassociate itself from the contents of what has been described as a Press Statement dated 5th January 2021, released by Ms Gelzeder Jeffrey in which she is purporting to speak for the DPP.
