Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Reserve Bank of Malawi former governor Dalitso Kabambe has announced that he has quit the former governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).<\/p>\n

In a statement, Kabambe says the decision was not made lightly but after \u201ccareful reflection and in the best interest of all parties involved\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have already informed His Excellency Prof Arthur Peter Mutharika of my decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI extend my best wishes to Prof Peter Mutharika and the entire DPP family as I move forward to communicate my next course of action in due time. I believe in the strength and resilience of Malawians and our nation. Though I am stepping back from this particular path, I still believe in the dreams and aspirations of every Malawian, that Malawi is a country full of possibilities,\u201d Kabambe, who was an executive member, says in the statement.<\/p>\n

Shadric Namalomba<\/b>DPP spokesperson Shadric Namalomba said Kabambe has exercised his right.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur party\u2019s response is that everyone has freedom of association,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But political analysts have said Kabambe\u2019s departure spells out serious leadership problems in the DPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can indicate serious problems in the party. Some people in the DPP think it is impossible for other potential leaders to join the party. The DPP needed to be careful about losing numbers. Winning elections is about having numbers and every individual in the party has followers behind him,\u201d Mavuto Bamusi said.<\/p>\n

Another commentator Chimwemwe Tsitsi, however, said Kabambe\u2019s impact in DPP was yet to be tested.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince he [Kabambe] joined politics, his popularity is yet to be tested at an election. He has never contested at a convention. So, we are yet to appreciate how popular he would have been [in DPP].<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, he was a prominent figure in the party and was harbouring ambitions to lead it,\u201d Tsitsi said.<\/p>\n

Kabambe was recently seen attending a candlelight memorial that UTM organised in Blantyre in remembrance of its first president Saulos Chilima, who died in a plane crash in Chikangawa Forest on June 10 this year.<\/p>\n
