The vote counting process has commenced at the Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) convention, being held at the Golden Peacock Hotel in Lilongwe. Delegates have cast their votes, and it is anticipated that the counting will be completed within the next hour.
Several key positions within the party have already been filled without contest. These include the roles of President, Vice President of Administration, Chief Electoral Officer, two Assistant Secretaries, Treasurer, Chief Organizer, Spokesperson, and the leaders of the Women’s and Youth wings.
Notably, prominent figures such as Enock Chihana, Timothy Mtambo, Dr. Emran Sherif, AAmatullah Annie Maluwa, and Emmanuel Mtunga have secured their positions unopposed. This lack of competition reflects a strong consensus among party members regarding these leaders’ roles and contributions.
As the convention progresses, the focus will shift to finalizing the results and outlining the future strategies for AFORD under its newly elected leadership. The smooth completion of this process underscores a significant moment of unity and forward momentum for the party.
