Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has distanced itself from a letter circulating on the social media regarding the firing of the Party’s Secretary General Grelzeder Jeffrey.

Over the week-end, social media was awash with reports that Jeffrey has been fired from the party after calling for a National Governing Council (NGC) without the blessings from party’s president Peter Mutharika.

The rumours were followed by a letter suspected to have been issued by DPP and former President Mutharika’s spokesperson Shadric Namalomba.

But in an interview with Zodiak Television on Monday evening, Namalomba described the letter as fake.

The outspoken Namalomba further hinted that Jeffrey is still secretary general of the former governing party, DPP.
