Information reaching FaceofMalawi indicates that former Member of Parliament for Mwanza Central Nicholas Dausi on Thursday hired youths armed with machetes to disrupt a rally organized by Chipani Cha Pfuko (CCP) MP Davies Katsonga.

Katsonga organized the rally in the area to avail himself to the general public as a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) member.

An eyewitness told FaceofMalawi that drama started when the rally was about to start as youths armed with machete stormed the venue while singing anti-Katsonga’s songs.

The songs did not go down well with Katsonga’s supporters who retaliated badly and the Police had to be called in to calm the situation.

However, Dausi, who lost to Katsonga and was appointed by President Peter Mutharika to be head of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has denied the claims.

Katsonga dumped DPP just after the death of former President Professor Bingu wa Mutharika and he later former his own Party.

Katsonga was also one of the Presidential candidates in the last years tripartite election which saw DPP under President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika emerging victorious.
