Homeland Security Minister Ezekiel Ching'oma claims some MCP National Executive Committee members want to remove longtime MPs before party primaries. He made these accusations during a Sunday rally in Lilongwe, saying certain party leaders aim to push out veteran lawmakers like himself, former Secretary General Eisenhower Mkaka, and former Agriculture Minister Robin Lowe. The minister warned these actions must stop or Lilongwe would face consequences, noting the area stayed loyal to the MCP when other regions backed rival parties.
Ching'oma believes party officials pressure district committees to block experienced politicians from nominations. He said people should know patience differs from foolishness, suggesting internal rebellion might happen if the alleged removals continue. His statements show growing conflicts inside the MCP during an important primary election season.
The party has offered no response to these claims. This situation suggests a power struggle within the MCP as they prepare for the general elections next year. Political observers note that these internal fights could reshape the party before voters head to the polls in 2025.
