A democracy group rejected fake social media posts about former President Peter Mutharika's health. The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives said someone made up statements asking the Democratic Progressive Party to explain Mutharika's condition. Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa called the false claims political lies from the ruling Malawi Congress Party. He refused to give more details about the fake posts spreading online. The group never made any official comments about the former president's health status.
False statements claimed CDEDI wanted transparency from DPP leaders about Mutharika's medical situation. The fake posts said party officials gave conflicting reports through different spokespeople. People started asking questions after Mutharika disappeared from public events for several weeks. Senior DPP members denied rumors that their leader needed medical treatment abroad. They explained Mutharika went to South Africa to meet party donors before September elections.
The democracy organization firmly denied writing anything about the former president's whereabouts. Social media users shared the false statements widely across different platforms. DPP officials have not released new information about Mutharika's current location or health. Political opponents continue spreading rumors about the opposition leader's condition. The party maintains their leader remains healthy and active ahead of upcoming campaigns.
