Former President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika on Monday held a meeting with Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) district governors for Eastern Region.

The meeting took place at Mutharika’s retirement home in the Lake-shore district of Mangochi.The district governors were led by DPP Vice President for Eastern Region Bright Msaka and Samuel Tembenu.

Two weeks ago Mutharika also held similar meeting with district governors for the Southern Region led by former Minister of Finance Joseph Mwanamvekha and Francis Kasaila.

The meetings come amid leadership squabbles rocking the party with others calling for an early convention.

But Mutharika has on several times rejected the call.
