The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) says the memorial service in honour of the late President, Bingu wa Mutharika, has been postponed.

In a statement, DPP spokesperson Shadric Namalomba says this follows advice from the Mutharika family that one of the members, Arthur Masamba, lost a wife recently who was laid to rest on March 29, 2024.

The DPP and the family have for years been conducting the services on April 5, at Mpumulo wa Bata mausoleum in Thyolo, the day Bingu died. He succumbed to cardiac arrest while in office in 2012.
