Rumphi East MP Kamlepo Kalua has officially joined the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) after being welcomed by the party’s Vice President for the North, Jappie Mhango, at an event in Rumphi on Saturday.
DPP’s Northern Region Governor, Nzomera Ngwira, praised Kalua’s move, describing it as a testament to the party’s growing strength.
“This shows that DPP is doing well. His decision should inspire other politicians to rethink their party choices,” Ngwira said.
Kalua, who won his parliamentary seat on a People’s Party (PP) ticket, had long been inactive in PP affairs.
His defection reinforces DPP’s push to regain influence ahead of the next elections.
