Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi Congress Party\u2019s new catch, Esther Mcheka Chilenje says hooligans who heckled her during her welcoming function in Nsanje north were sponsored by sitting parliamentarian for the area, Enoch Chizuzu.<\/p>\n

Mcheka Chilenje, former deputy Speaker of Parliament was booed and heckled at a meeting meant for MCP committee in the area to welcome her back into the party.<\/p>\n

She said Chizuzu was behind the fracas and accused him of sending people to protest against her joining of the MCP.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, some MCP members in the area protested Mcheka Chilenje\u2019s decision to join the party, accusing her of aiming to bring confusion in the area.<\/p>\n

Constituency officials held a meeting to welcome the former parliamentarian for the area into the party but some section of members mobilised themselves and chanted songs of disapproval.<\/p>\n

Videos clips making rounds on social media show the people denouncing her.<\/p>\n

But Mcheka Chilenje said she knows that the people were sponsored by Chizuzu to disrupt the meeting.<\/p>\n

Chizuzu has however dismissed Chilenje\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could I send them when they are the ones she called to welcome her? Those who rejected her came from the very same meeting and were not sent by me,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
