Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 66693, member: 636"] Walter Nyamilandu confirmed his allegiance to the Democratic Progressive Party after taking the parliamentary oath on Tuesday for the Nsanje South West constituency, despite having won his seat as an independent candidate. The legislator said he adopted the independent strategy to secure electoral victory but maintained loyalty to the DPP throughout his campaign. Nyamilandu told reporters his constituents and party leaders anticipated his formal affiliation with the opposition group after the election concluded. The representative identified hunger as his immediate legislative priority, noting that residents face severe food shortages. He welcomed presidential commitments to increase maize supplies and designate Nsanje as an emergency area requiring urgent assistance. The lawmaker said these measures will help direct relief to communities where families regularly go without meals. [/QUOTE]
