Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary General Peter Mukhito has vehemently denied rumors that he endorsed the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) during a DPP mega rally at Katoto Ground in Mzuzu on Saturday.
Social media was abuzz with claims that Mukhito had thrown his weight behind MCP ahead of the 2025 general elections.
In an interview with Voice of Livingstonia Radio, Mukhito described the reports as baseless, misleading, and mere propaganda aimed at tarnishing his image and sowing confusion.
“I urge the public to disregard these reports. They are acts of propagandists and totally wrong and false,” Mukhito emphasized.
Mukhito reaffirmed his commitment to DPP’s leader and presidential candidate, Professor Peter Mutharika, urging Malawians to rally behind him as “the only one ready and steady to rescue the nation from the current socio-economic woes come 2025”.
During the rally, Mukhito reportedly stated that people from four political regions had unanimously agreed to vote for Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and oust the MCP government.
Mukhito’s clarification comes amidst speculation about potential alliances and endorsements ahead of the 2025 elections.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Mukhito’s statement serves as a reminder of his dedication to DPP and its leadership.
The DPP has been gearing up for the 2025 elections, with Mukhito playing a key role in mobilizing support for the party.
His endorsement of Mutharika underscores the party’s confidence in its presidential candidate.
As Malawi prepares for the polls, the debate around leadership and vision for the country’s future intensifies.
Mukhito’s reassurance of his commitment to DPP and Mutharika is expected to bolster support among party faithful.
