Firebrand politician and activist Jessie Kabwila, recently reappointed as the Publicity Secretary of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) at the party’s convention in Lilongwe, has made a bold statement about the party’s prospects for the 2025 general election. After spending over five years in political obscurity, Kabwila, who has been warmly welcomed back into the MCP fold, is now poised to play a significant role in the party’s electoral strategy.
In a passionate address following her reinstatement, Kabwila emphasized that the MCP’s success in the upcoming elections will hinge on its track record of delivery. She argued that the party’s ability to meet the expectations of the Malawian people, rather than mere promises, will be the key to securing victory.
“I am here to assure you that the MCP will not only compete but will win the 2025 general election based on our record of delivery,” Kabwila declared. “The party has been working hard on the ground, and we are ready to show the people of Malawi that our commitment to their needs is unwavering. We have learned from the past, and we are more determined than ever to fulfill our promises.”
Kabwila’s return to the MCP marks a significant moment for the party, as her influence and experience are seen as vital assets in the run-up to the next general election. Her reappointment follows a period of reconciliation, during which she was reintegrated into the party with a renewed sense of purpose.
During the convention, Kabwila expressed gratitude for the support and forgiveness extended to her, acknowledging the challenges she faced during her time away. She praised the MCP leadership for their openness and commitment to unity, which she believes will strengthen the party’s position in the coming election.
As the MCP gears up for the 2025 general election, Kabwila’s renewed enthusiasm and strategic vision are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the party’s campaign. Her focus on delivering tangible results rather than empty promises reflects a broader strategy aimed at reconnecting with voters and addressing their pressing concerns.
With Kabwila’s vocal support and active involvement, the MCP is poised to leverage its achievements and address its challenges as it seeks to win the confidence of Malawians in the next election.
