Former President Peter Mutharika says he will end challenges Malawians are currently facing under the Tonse Alliance administration after re-elected into power in the 2025 presidential elections.
He was speaking at this year’s Mulhako wa Alhomwe cultural celebrations at Chonde Headquarters in Mulanje on Sunday.
Mutharika observed that since his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was booted out of government in June 2020 following the court sanctioned fresh presidential elections, prices of goods and services have been on the rise.
He said the challenges Malawians are facing are a result of bad choice of leadership.
“Amalawi kusamva. During the last general election I repeatedly reminded you that you had a chance to vote for development or challenges,”said Mutharika.
The former Malawi leader accused Tonse Alliance government of attempting to economically sanction the Southern region by relocating to Lilongwe, headquarters of major statutory bodies and government companies.
“They have started moving important government offices to Lilongwe. They want to kill Southern Region in this way,” he said.
He then, declared he will bounce back as Malawi leader in 2025.
