Skeffa Chimoto has declared his intention to represent the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) in the Nkhotakota South parliamentary elections. In a recent interview with Times 360 Malawi, Chimoto shared that local residents approached him with strong encouragement to run for office.
Initially hesitant, Chimoto ultimately chose to enter the race after thorough reflection. “The pressure came from our own community. Although I was initially reluctant, I realized that, after much consideration and understanding why so many people wanted me to run, it was the right decision,” Chimoto explained.
Should he win, Chimoto aims to address the key issues facing his constituency and drive significant improvements in the region.
