The Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Kamlepo Kalua, demanding that he produces evidence to support his claim that the party received 5 billion kwacha from the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) to form an alliance.
According to a letter signed by party spokesperson Annie Amatullah Maluwa, Kalua must provide concrete proof of the alleged transaction.
The party’s move comes after Kalua’s claims sparked widespread speculation about AFORD’s potential alliance with the ruling MCP.
AFORD has maintained that it has no intention of forming a coalition with the MCP, and the party’s leadership is determined to clarify the matter.
In the letter, AFORD emphasizes that Kalua’s allegations are serious and require substantiation. The party is adamant that it will not let such claims go unchallenged and will take further action against Kalua if he fails to produce the required evidence.
The seven-day deadline given to Kalua underscores the party’s resolve to get to the bottom of the matter.
AFORD’s leadership is keen to protect the party’s reputation and ensure that its members and the public are not misled by unsubstantiated claims.
However, AFORD’s stance remains clear: the party will not engage in any coalition with the MCP.
If Kalua fails to produce the required evidence, AFORD has warned that it will take further action against him.
