Former President Peter Mutharika who is also leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Sunday celebrated his 81st birthday at his retirement home in Mangochi with party supporters.
Mutharika was born on July 18, 1940.
Speaking to party supporters, Mutharika assured Malawians that DPP is bouncing back in government come 2025.
“Let me assure you that DPP is coming back again come 2025 because the Tonse Alliance has failed to deliver its promises,” said Mutharika while attracting ululations from party supporters.
He also hinted that the party will fire all party top officials who are bringing confusion in the party through the elective conference set 2023.
“I will continue leading the party up to 2023 where the party will go to convention to elect a leader who will take Malawians to the Promised Land. The said leader will be elected by you and not me,” said Mutharika.
Turning to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mutharika urged the party supporters to continue adhering to preventive measures set by Ministry of Health and the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
Mutharika lost the Presidential seat to Tonse Alliance President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on June 23, 202.
