Lilongwe, Malawi – As the clock ticks toward the highly anticipated joint press briefing in Lilongwe today, UTM and the Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) have revealed their key representatives for the event. The briefing, scheduled for 14:00 hours at Golden Peacock Hotel, is expected to focus on the upcoming 2025 general elections and will be broadcast live on Times TV, Radio, and Facebook.
UTM has sent Makwenda Chunga to represent the party at the briefing, signaling their commitment to engaging with fellow opposition parties in the run-up to the elections. Chunga’s presence is expected to highlight UTM’s stance and potential strategies for the crucial 2025 electoral battle.
Meanwhile, AFORD has come fully prepared with a strong lineup of senior officials. Leading the charge is Vice President Comrade Timothy Mtambo, a prominent figure in Malawi’s political landscape. He will be joined by Linda Limbe, the party’s Secretary General, Saulosi Thindwa, Head of Media, Davie Katete, Director of Elections, Annie Maluwa, Publicity Secretary, and the party’s Vice Chairperson, Reverend Maurice Munthali. This formidable team from AFORD reflects the party’s determination to have a substantial voice in the discussions surrounding next year’s elections.
However, the full list of representatives from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and United Democratic Front (UDF) has yet to be confirmed. Political observers are keen to see which figures will attend, as the stakes are high for all opposition parties.
The joint press briefing is expected to set the tone for the opposition’s approach to the 2025 general elections, with discussions potentially hinting at alliances, strategies, and the parties’ visions for Malawi’s future. As preparations continue, the nation waits in anticipation to hear from the opposition leaders on the challenges and opportunities they see in the path ahead.
