Patel was responding to reports that some members are supporting an Atupele Muluzi comeback as UDF president. \u201cI am completing a six-year term of Muluzi, who voluntarily resigned and handed over the mantle to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny member of the party is free to contest any position and that will be at the elective convention in August 2023,\u201d said Patel. Patel said she will not allow anyone to create parallel structures in the pursuit of positions.<\/p>\n

She said Muluzi remains a bonafide member of the party and is free to contest for any position but said there are over-enthusiastic people who are campaigning for their preferred candidates for personal gains.<\/p>\n
