President Peter Muntharika has asked some members of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) that are not agreeing to DPP-UDF alliance to leave the party.

The president spoke this yesterday, during the launch of $224 million Shire Valley Transformation Program in Chikwawa.

He said that he knows that there are other people in the party who are not willing to work with the United Democratic Front (UDF).

“If you do not want to unite with UDF, please leave DPP,” said Mutharika.

Meanwhile, DPP Vice President for the southern region, Kondwani Nankhumwa has urged all DPP and UDF members to stop gossiping and spreading lies as this may bring political tension in the party.
