Lilongwe Senior Resident Magistrate Florence Msekandiana is this morning expected to sentence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Regional Governor for the Centre, David Kambalame.

Kambalame was convicted for assaulting Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary-General Eisenhower Mkaka during the reign of former President Peter Mutharika.

Yesterday, the presiding Judge failed to deliver a ruling on the case following the protest organized by concerned citizen in Lilongwe on rising cost of living.

Kambalame was arrested in July 2020 after committing the offence ahead of the court-ordered June 2020 presidential election.

He is said to have assaulted Mkaka who went to the police station to report an incident where some people suspected to be DPP members were allegedly collecting national IDs from potential voters
