Wakuda Kamanga and Judith Mang’anda, who were Alliance For Democracy (AFORD) secretary general (SG) and director of events respectively, have dumped the party and joined the newly formed National Development Party (NDP).
The move came a few hours after some party youth thronged to the party office on Tuesday demanding his removal, saying he was working as a spy for other parties.
Aford’s publicity secretary Annie Amatullah Maluwa a statement announcing Kamanga’s suspension accusing him. He said the action followed a series of disciplinary hearing summons that were extended to Kamanga who was being accused of the formation of electoral alliances when the party had not made any stand.
Addressing the media in Lilongwe, the two said they thought of leaving Aford following harassment from both the party youths and leadership.
NDP Secretary General Gerald Chilongo announced at the same presser that Kamanga has been appointed as the vice president responsible for Operations while Mang’anda is the Director of Protocol and Events.
NDP was formally registered as a political party on 1st March 2024 and is led by Frank Mwenefumbo.
