United Democratic Front (UDF) President Atupele Muluzi has distanced the party from a press briefing held in Lilongwe by some individuals claiming to speak on behalf of the party and accepting defeat in the just-ended presidential elections.

Muluzi clarified that the briefing was not sanctioned by the UDF, stressing that he was not aware of any such communication being made in the party’s name.

He further stated that the UDF has recently observed irregularities in the conduct of the elections, which must be addressed before drawing any conclusions.

“I have not sanctioned any press briefing, and I am not aware of any press briefing by the party,” said Muluzi.

When asked to comment on the conduct of those who held the briefing, he responded briefly: “No comment.”
