“It will be irresponsible of me to resign as DPP president now. But I am ready to step down after a convention is held,” Said Mutharika
Meanwhile, Government Expert Makhumbo Munthali has asked Mutharika to create a conducive environment for all presidential hopefuls by refraining from being seen to side with certain presidential aspirants.
