Chilenga joined MCP together with Ralph Mhone, former People’s Party Vice President, Ephraim Mganda Chiume, former DPP Vice Secretary General, Miriam Chimbalanga, former DPP Director of women.
He was among DPP senior officials who protested a plot to have former President Peter Mutharika as DPP torchbearer in the 2025 polls.
Chilenga sided with the fired former DPP Vice President for the South Kondwani Nankhumwa who is also leader of opposition.
DPP is yet to comment on the matter.
