LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Members of Parliament (MPs) have resolved to respect President Lazarus Chakwera’s appointment of former Finance Minister Simplex Chithyola Banda as the new Leader of Opposition in Parliament.

The decision was reached during a closed-door caucus meeting held this evening at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe.

The meeting was led by the party’s secretary general, Richard Chimwendo Banda, and was also attended by the party’s vice-president, Catherine Gotani Hara.

In an interview with Nation Online after the two-and-a-half long meeting, Chimwendo Banda confirmed the development.
