Former Minister of Finance and Economic Development Ken Kandodo Banda, a relative to Malawi’s first President Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda has rejoined the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) after returning to frontline politics.
Kandodo was welcomed in MCP during a rally held at Kasungu organised by District Chairmen
“I’m going back home. I have seen the political pendulum swinging in MCP favor and my future political fortunes lie in having a political home in MCP,” said Kandodo.

When contacted on the matter, Nkhata trashed the claims, saying the return of Kandodo will strengthen the party.
