There is no official statement available yet to disputes the claims.
This publication is getting only party members disputing Mutharika’s sickness rumors.
The development has attracted mixed reactions on social media whether Mutharika is sick or not.
“Why is the party not issuing official communication regarding to Mutharika’s sickness rumors. What we are reading is individual write ups two days after the rumors broked,” wondered David Maso on social media.
Countered DPP sympathiser James Mwambe, “Why should the party be bothered with such rumors? This is Malawi Congress Party (MCP) calculated move to divert public attention from problems it’s leader Lazarus Chakwera is encountering on state affairs”
Felister Chibwana argues, “It’s DPP tradition to hide sickness and death in the camp. Remember what happened to the late Bingu Wa Mutharika”
