Banda is not new to politics having had been voted as the Parliamentarian for the constituency in 2004 before being thrown out after being discovered that he did not possess an MSCE certificate.
Some quarters, however, believed that it was Banda’s orchestration of the impeachment motion against the then President, Bingu wa Mutharika, that saw him out of parliament.
p>Banda was arrested and then barred from public office for seven years that have now elapsed.
