From the Political Microscope of Ntcheu


By Leonard Kavwenje

It is of much interest, pleasure and confidence to Malawi Congress Party(MCP) in its entirety as more districts in the country continue to make choices and revelations ahead of 2025 Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Government elections.

Ntcheu is the latest district to express unquenchable determination to continue siding and re-electing President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera next year.

People of Ntcheu continue to speak volumes as they are flocking in large numbers to register in the second phase of the Malawi Electoral Commission(MEC) exercise.

According to spontaneous interviews in several parts of the Central Region district, President Chakwera and entire MCP are at hearts of many.

Attempts to dig deeper and find out the instrumental man behind such hopeful scenes, it is established that Reverend Mwai Kamuyambeni-MCP Shadow Member of Parliament(MP) for Ntcheu Dzonzi-Mvai is the man of the moment in the area as his political creativity of using Public Address System to woo many areas to register has attracted multitudes to register to reusher MCP in power.

Here is the observation;

“Kamuyambeni is taking the mobilisation game to every vertice of the constituency in support of Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and entire Malawi Congress Party. His job is commendable indeed.”

However, a million dollar question is, why has Ntcheu decided to opt to elect MCP next year? We tried to find answers.

From the verbatisms of the constituents came out, Dr. Chakwera is a developmentally-conscious leader.

He is spreading development projects across the land as nobody’s business.

See how he is improving the national road network to improve trade and economy.

In addition to that Chakwera’s economic empowerment dreams through the National Economic Empowerment Fund (NEEF) is working wonders here to institute economic freedom for us as well as an appropriate supplement to Affordable Inputs Program (AIP).

As people of Ntcheu, we are sure that food security, agricultural commercialisation and diversification are key.

As we talking talking, we have already applied for fertilisers loans.

At parliamentary level, these citizens of Ntcheu Dzonzi-Mvai have agreed to vote for Kamuyambeni.

“We are too delighted that next year, we’re bringing back our own political heavyweight Reverend Mwai Kamuyambeni.

“He left unfinished businesses. He must come back and finalise his brilliant development aspirations for our area. We are sure, with Chakwera as our President and Kamuyambeni as our Member of Parliament, Tsangano Road and Ntcheu Stadium Projects are to face the finishing line,” intensify Ntcheu people.

As our chart ends, they smilingly request:”We have two requests; the government to assist us with food as hunger has hit and to have some of our chiefs trip to the capital Lilongwe one day to appreciate the modern road infrastructure Chakwera and his government are putting in place.”

What people of Ntcheu have laid bare is a political puzzle to some ill-thinking and unpatriotic Malawians who expected that Ntcheu is to shun Malawi Congress Party following the exaggerative overpoliticisation of the June 10th, 2024 demise of the late hardworking Vice President Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima.

Now, my timely advice to the leadership of Malawi Congress Party is to conduct more rallies in Ntcheu, distribute all much needed campaign materials including T-shirts, caps and zitenje to all areas, allocate more development projects in Ntcheu and above all, empower influencial leaders like Kamuyambeni.
