Alliance for Democracy(AFORD) President Enock Chihana says Malawians can no longer have the appetite to vote for former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in 2025 general elections describing the party as lacking moral economic value.
Speaking during Anti-Same sex marriages protests in Lilongwe , Chihana argued that DPP was tried and the country almost became a war zone.
The AFORD leader claimed his party has solutions to the myriad economic challenges the current administration is grappling with including the highly billed but politically bruised Affordable Inputs Program (AIP) that has recently been soiled in endless scandals.
Chihana, whose party was part of the governing Tonse Alliance, mantains AFORD has never been tested but has what it takes to rescue the country he labels a ‘titanic sinking ship’.
On the AIP, he brags about having vast knowledge in issues of fertilizer, attributing the current program mess to poor planning.
Chihana further backed the Thursday anti-homosexuality protests that happened across the country, describing the development as the right thing to do and that democracy should prevail.
“As a party, we have made it clear that we don’t support same sex marriages. Our cultural and political values are against same sex marriages. A marriage is between a man and a woman, that’s all,” explained Chihana.
The AFORD leader concluded by telling journalists that no visitors can change the country’s cultural values hence those involved in the malpractice should stop.
