at the forthcoming convention will be released prior to the
commencement of the much awaited indaba on August 9 through a press
conference.
In a press statement released Thursday afternoon and signed by the
party president John Tembo did not indicate if the names of the
candidates to be released tomorrow will be that of those of the
presidential post all those to contest on other position.
Recently the convention committee came under fire when they wanted to
bar all those who were deemed not fit to contest for the presidential
position because they don’t meet some of the requirements one of which
of being non-active party member for the past five years.
Later, the party changed tune and said everyone willing to contest for
the top position will be given a chance to do so.
The press release has urged all the delegates to start preparing for
the travel arrangements to the convention.
“Everything has been set for the convention, we have hired buses to
ferry all our delegates from Blantyre, Zomba and Mzuzu as converge
points with an exception for Likoma District who will arrive early
because of logistical issues,” reads part of the release.
The Tembo dropped a stiff warning to the delegates, “Any delegate that
will not be on these buses will not be allowed to be part of the
process in order to curb the incident of fake delegates.
“There are stringiest screening measures that have been put in place
at all points until the delegates enter the convention hall,” said
Tembo.
