Member of Parliament for Nkhata-Bay Central Constituency Symon Vuwa Kaunda has been re-appointed as Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chief Whip in Parliament.

Kaunda was removed from the post after the Supreme Court of Appeal nullified the Parliamentary polls for his constituency.

DPP spokesperson Shadreck Namalomba has confirmed of the development in an interview with the press.

According to Namalomba, Vuwa Kaunda replaces Martha Lunji, former Member of Parliament for Nkhotakota North-East who died two months ago.

Vuwa Kaunda has since vowed to unite the DPP members of parliament amid divisions that have rocked the party.
