A party that once trashed walkouts as cheap drama just stormed out of Parliament itself, flipping the script in full view of a stunned chamber.
Speaker suspends five MCP legislators
Speaker Sameer Suleman barred five Malawi Congress Party members from the sitting.

Suleman said power loss did not excuse breaking chamber rules.
MCP bench stages coordinated exit
Malawi Congress Party MPs then rose together and exited.
Sanctions against five quickly turned into a wider protest.
Shadreck Namalomba reacted with visible disbelief at the solidarity.
He argued Parliament should focus on laws, not backing rule breakers.
