From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is the ruling political party in Malawi. The party was formed in February 2005 by Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika after a dispute with the United Democratic Front. The party is named after the major Taiwanese political party, Democratic Progressive Party, a funder of political groups in Malawi, before the end of diplomatic ties between the nations.
There were allegations that members of the former governing UDF did not adequately tackle corruption. It is unclear if the party will be ideological or personalist in style. Since the UDF was a member of the Liberal International, the DPP might take a liberal position.
