Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Vice President for the south, Kondwani Nankhumwa has maintained his stand to contest for the party\u2019s Presidency at the party\u2019s convenient slated for this year.<\/p>\n

Nankhumwa, who is also the Leader of Opposition in Parliament, expressed optimism that he will win and take over the mantle from DPP President Arthur Peter Mutharika, immediate past Malawi\u2019s President. Nankhumwa shows mercy on DPP<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201dFAILURE DOES NOT EXIST IN MY BLOOD VEINS. I AM NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE AND NOBODY WILL STOP OR BLOCK ME FROM ATTENDING THE CONVENTION.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready to take the DPP back into government. I have vast experience having served in different portfolios when DPP was government. I know what Malawians want and they will rally behind me, come 2025,\u201d Nankhumwa said in an interview monitored on Times TV\u2019s Times Exclusive. He also described as untrue claims that he was planning to form his own political party or join another party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a bonafide member of the DPP. I will remain in the party. I know all the statues of the party and all structures from the grassroots. I have massive support and I will be the party\u2019s torchbearer in 2025,\u201d stressed Nankhumwa, whose wife is a Member of Parliament for Blantyre Kabula constituency.<\/p>\n

Others interested in the party\u2019s Presidency are former Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) Governor Dr Dalitso Kambabe, Chiradzulu law maker and former Finance Minister, Joseph Mwanavekha and Machinga Likwenu law maker Bright Msaka, SC, who at some point served as Minister of Justice and Minister of Lands.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, there are no reasons to be afraid of anyone. I will win at the convention,\u201d said Nankhumwa.<\/p>\n
