Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Member of Parliament for Nkhatabay Central Vuwa Kaunda has withdrawn from the shadow cabinet which was appointed by Leader of Opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa.<\/p>\n

Kaunda who is also Chief Whip for opposition side in parliament has told Malawi24 today at Parliamentary Building in Lilongwe that he has written a resignation letter to Nankhumwa stating his position on the matter.<\/p>\n

He said that he was not consulted about the decision before his name was included on the list and that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) does not recognize the cabinet.<\/p>\n

Kaunda added that as a Member of Parliament who came in the August house on the party\u2019s ticket, he cannot do otherwise but to resign from the shadow cabinet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the part of leadership of Democratic Progressive Party, l came in Parliament because of the party and I am the Chief Whip because of the same party, so it\u2019s better to show my loyalty because it is where I belong.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the leader of the opposition consulted the party firstly before coming up with the cabinet then l would have agreed to be part of the cabinet because we could have had blessings from the party,\u201d Kaunda said.<\/p>\n

Nankhumwa who is Member of Parliament for Mulanje Central Constituency released the shadow cabinet last week Friday and Kaunda was appointed as Minister of Defence.<\/p>\n
