The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has condemned the torching of party cloth by some people believed to be sympathisers of former vice president for the Southern Region, Kondwani Nankhumwa.

On Sunday Nankhumwa followers were scene torching DPP rappers while saying they have dumped the party in solidality with the fired Mulanje Central MP.

The incident happened in Ndirande where Nakhumwa went to attend CCAP church service and the video went viral on social media.

Reacting to the development, the party’s spokesperson Shadreck Namalomba said politics of antagonism as displayed by these sympathisers is too archaic for democracy today.

He said the behaviour by the Nankhumwa followers demonstrates that they do not subscribe to the party’s ideologies, and have lost touch of what Malawians need to save the country from economic crash.

While saying the party’s focus is to heal the country from what it calls economic cancer, the party has appealed to it’s supporters to enhance peace.
