DPP attempt to poison MCP Strategist Ken Zikhale fails

The Chief strategist in the opposition Malawi Congress Party Dr Ken Zikhale Ngoma has survived a second attempt on his life. It has been established that the state used two surrogates to put poison in his food at one of the up market hotels as he was busy fine dinning in Lilongwe.

Zikhale who is currently recovering has been a thorn in the flesh for the DPP led government after his strategic direction of the opposition MCP has left DPP under panic and on the brink of losing the forthcoming election. It has also been established that his role as chairperson of the security and defence portfolio committee in parliament has put him on the line. Zikhale is the one who will have the mandate to endorse and approve state of emergency. The ruling DPP was planning to use Coronavirus pandemic to declare state of emergency in order to delay the elections.

After some tests , the clinic doctor, a Dr Banda confirmed that his body had traces of poison. Some parts of his internal system was marred and affected. He has since been treated for bruises and contusions. His oesophagus and intestines have also been affected.
