In Blantyre last night, unknown people petrol-bombed a house belonging to a United Transformation Movement aspirant for Zomba Thondwe Constituency.

According to information at hand, the assailants are suspected to have been hired by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) under President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.

Mr. Bright Kawanga says a number of household items whose value is yet to be determined have been destroyed.

Meanwhile, the police are yet to comment on the matter.
