The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) defends Secretary General Peter Mukhito after a public disagreement with National Assembly Speaker Sameer Suleman. DPP says Mukhito’s comments do not amount to an attack on Parliament, but instead are aimed at defending constitutional order, following remarks Suleman makes during a September 2, 2026 press briefing.
Both outlets describe the dispute as centered on how Mukhito characterizes the Speaker’s conduct. Nyasa Times adds that the DPP warns against Parliament “behaving like police,” framing Mukhito’s rebuke as a call for proper constitutional behavior. Malawi Voice similarly presents the DPP’s position as a clarification that Mukhito is not targeting the institution, but responding on constitutional grounds. The outlets provide consistent accounts of the parties involved and the DPP’s stated rationale, while differing mainly in wording and emphasis, particularly around concerns about Parliament’s role and conduct.
