The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has successfully regained control of its official Facebook page, marking a major step in restoring its online presence. The page was restored on Thursday, 17th October 2024, with the first post shared at approximately 11:00 a.m. The post featured an official picture of the party, symbolizing its full return to social media.
The recovery comes as a significant relief to the party and its supporters, who rely heavily on the platform for timely updates, communication, and engagement on critical political matters. The page had previously faced unspecified challenges that led to its inactivity, but its restoration now signals the party’s renewed focus on digital outreach.
As Malawi gears up for the 2025 elections, the DPP’s return to social media will play a crucial role in engaging with its base and reaching the general public. With the Facebook page restored, the party is now better positioned to communicate its messages, policies, and campaign strategies in the lead-up to the elections.
