Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary General, Peter Mukhito, today delivered the opening remarks at the party’s National Governing Council (NGC) training session, currently underway at Lotus Hotel in Blantyre.
In his address, Mukhito welcomed all attendees, acknowledging the significance of the training for the party’s leadership as it prepares for the upcoming 2025 general elections. He emphasized that the NGC members are the backbone of the party, and their commitment to the party’s success is critical as they strategize for the future.
Mukhito encouraged the party’s leadership to embrace the spirit of unity and focus on the collective goal of reclaiming power in the next elections. He urged the newly elected leaders to take full responsibility for their roles and to approach their duties with integrity and selflessness, ensuring that they put the interests of the party and the people of Malawi first.
“The future of this party lies in your hands,” Mukhito stated. “This training is not just about preparing for the elections; it’s about preparing to serve the people of Malawi with honor and dedication.”
Mukhito further urged the members to be strategic in their engagement with the electorate, noting that effective communication and outreach are essential in building trust and support at all levels. He emphasized that the DPP must be ready to offer viable solutions to the country’s challenges, rather than merely criticizing the current government.
“As a party, we must be proactive in presenting our vision for a better Malawi, and that vision must resonate with the needs of the people,” Mukhito added.
The DPP Secretary General also acknowledged the challenges the party has faced in recent years, but expressed confidence that with proper training, unity, and determination, the party would regain its footing and emerge stronger for the next electoral battle.
“This is the beginning of a new chapter for the DPP,” Mukhito concluded. “Together, we will work hard to ensure that our party is not only prepared for the next election but is also poised to lead Malawi into a prosperous future.”
The training session, which includes various workshops and presentations, is set to continue throughout the day, with DPP leadership members being equipped with the necessary tools to mobilize support, strengthen party structures, and chart the course for electoral success in 2025.
Mukhito’s remarks highlighted the party’s commitment to reform, renewal, and readiness, setting the stage for a focused and strategic approach in the lead-up to next year’s elections.
