Shadric Namalomba, the spokesperson for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and a supporter of former President Peter Mutharika, has addressed the recent departure of Dr. Dalitso Kabambe from the party. Speaking to Zodiak Online, Namalomba stated that the decision to leave the party is a personal one and should be respected.
“Everyone has the right to leave a party and join another, just as individuals have the freedom to enter or exit relationships and marriages,” Namalomba said. He emphasized that Dr. Kabambe’s choice to leave the DPP is his own, and the party respects his decision.
Namalomba also refuted claims suggesting that Kabambe’s departure was motivated by Mutharika’s anticipated run for the 2025 elections. He clarified that the party had no internal issues with Kabambe’s departure, asserting that the reasons for Kabambe’s exit are personal and known to him alone.
This statement follows speculation that Kabambe’s move might be linked to internal party dynamics or disagreements over future political strategies. Namalomba’s comments aim to dispel such rumors and reaffirm the party’s stance on individual autonomy within its ranks.
