The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Women’s Directorate in the Southern Region, led by Maria Mainja, hosted a dynamic and engaging meeting in Neno on Friday, drawing hundreds of women from across the area. The conference, a key event in the party’s electoral strategy, focused on galvanizing support for the DPP ahead of next year’s elections and addressing pressing local challenges.
The meeting served as a critical platform for women to voice their concerns, particularly regarding hunger and transportation difficulties. Mainja assured the attendees that the DPP is committed to addressing these issues, emphasizing the party’s dedication to improving conditions for women in the region.
“We are here to support you and ensure that your voices are heard,” Mainja declared, underlining the party’s commitment to tackling the hunger crisis that many participants highlighted as a major concern.
The event also featured the participation of Thoko Tembo, the Member of Parliament for the area, who joined the gathering to show solidarity and support for the women’s causes. In addition to discussing key issues, the DPP Women’s Directorate distributed essential materials to attendees, aiming to provide immediate support and reinforce their ongoing commitment to the region.
This meeting in Neno is part of a broader series of similar conferences held in districts such as Chiradzulu, Blantyre, Phalombe, and Mulanje. These gatherings demonstrate the DPP’s strategic focus on mobilizing women across the Southern Region and rallying them behind the party’s presidential candidate.
The series of conferences reflects the DPP’s effort to consolidate support and showcase their commitment to addressing both electoral and socio-economic challenges facing the country. As the party gears up for the upcoming elections, these meetings are crucial in strengthening their connection with voters and addressing their most pressing concerns.
