Political analyst Humphreys Mvula has described legislators who are ditching the former ruling Democratic progressive Party (DPP) as opportunists.

The remarks by Humphreys Mvula come in the wake of defections by some members of DPP and UDF to parties under the Tonse Alliance.

According to Mvula, the recent defections by some Members of Parliament to the ruling Tonse administration portrays same political circles and greed, an expert has said.

The defections come two months after a heated fresh presidential poll, in which the Tonse Alliance triumphed.

Some of the defectors include lawmaker for Chikwawa West, Susan Dossi, Eurita Valetta for Nsanje South West and Ramzan Mahomed, all from DPP.
