DPP Convention: Dr Paul Gadama trashes audio circulating on social media

Son to former Minister of Local Government Aaron Gadama , Dr Paul Gadama,  has trashed reports circulating on social media over his legality to stand as Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)  central region Vice president during the coming elective convention.

The audio recording suggests that because Gadama comes from Kasungu, with family members in the ruling MCP, and his father was an MCP member, it means he must also be an MCP member.

“This is a flawed assumption and a desperate attempt to discredit me. It is clear that this narrative is being sponsored by a sect within the DPP, comprising direct competitors and those who fear my candidacy.

“I have listened to the audio recording and found its content to be laughable. As the son of the late Rt. Hon. Aaron Gadama, who served as minister responsible for the central region during the Kamuzu era, I have a personal history that contradicts the narrative being peddled,” he said.

He has since describe this narrative as empty and bankrupt, with no substance to the claims being made.

He daid that it is intended to deceive both APM and the delegates to the convention, suggesting that APM can be swayed by naive arguments and that delegates are unaware of his true character.

“However, I am confident that most delegates know who is behind this smear campaign, and I have chosen to take the high road and remain civil. For your information, I have been a loyal member of the DPP since its inception. I was there when the party was registered, and I worked closely with Bingu. I have made significant sacrifices for the party, and APM is well aware of my contributions. I am contesting for the Vice President position for the Central Region and am confident of winning at the Convention. I urge you to ignore the noise and misinformation being spread by political novice,” he said.
