Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Former President Peter Mutharika has expressed concern over the use of late former President Bingu wa Mutharika\u2019s image on a poster belonging to Leader of Opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa who is also an aspirant for the presidency of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).<\/p>\n

Mutharika has released a statement today after a poster was posted on social media showing the faces of Kondwani Nankhumwa and former Malawi President and ex-leader of DPP, Bingu, with the message that power is never given without a fight. Mutharika in the statement did not mention Nankhumwa but described the person in the wrong as an aspirant for the DPP presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of this callous action is to give the impression that the late Bingu would have endorsed this individual\u2019s candidacy. As president and head of the DPP I am distressed by this exploitation of our departed relative. I am therefore asking the individual concerned to withdraw this poster and to never post another one.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of my family, I am asking this individual to respect Bingu\u2019s soul and to let him rest in peace,\u201d Mutharika said.<\/p>\n

The statement comes over a month after Mutharika met Nankhumwa and other DPP aspirants where they pledged allegiance to Mutharika and agreed to suspend their individual campaigns.<\/p>\n

There have been divisions in the DPP since Mutharika\u2019s defeat in the 2020 Presidential Elections. Some DPP members have been calling for a convention and Mutharika\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n

But Mutharika has always maintained that he will only step down as DPP president in 2023, the year the party plans to hold a convention to elect his successor.<\/p>\n
