Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) members have elected Karonga Central Member of Parliament Frank Mwenefumbo as the party’s president.
Mwenefumbo was announced winner after voting that took place at the party’s office in Area 49 following disagreements at the convention which was held on Tuesday at Don Bosco in Lilongwe.
Speaking after the ceremony, Mwenefumbo thanked the party’s delegates for the support and for choosing him as AFORD president.
He added that although there were wrangles at the first venue yesterday, the delegates stood up for him and gave him all the support he needed.

The new AFORD leader also blamed Chihana for causing chaos with the help of his bodyguards at the Tuesday convention.

At the convention, Ibrahim Swankie was voted as AFORD National campaign Director.
