Political expert Thomas Chirwa wants President Lazarus Chakwera to step in fast as top officials clash before party primaries in Mzimba Central. The dispute involves MCP General Secretary Richard Chimwendo Banda, National Assembly Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara, and hopeful candidate Vitumbiko Mumba. Party insiders fear these tensions might hurt MCP's chances in next year's elections if left unchecked.

A video making rounds shows Mumba telling primary voters they don't need someone with "small mega farms" messing up their constituency. Many believe this targets Chimwendo Banda, who seems interested in northern politics and backs another candidate. Observers urge Chakwera to gather all three for peace talks, proving he controls his party.

An unnamed MCP official warned these problems could damage the party beyond just Mzimba Central. The growing rivalry between Mumba and the powerful pair of Chimwendo Banda and Gotani Hara has party members worried. Critics say Chakwera must act decisively before these internal fights spread further across the Northern Region.
