In a passionate appeal to the nation, Joseph Mwanamveka, Vice President of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the Southern Region, has urged Malawians to vote for Peter Mutharika in the upcoming general elections scheduled for September 16. Mwanamveka made this statement during a stopover tour in Mulanje on Sunday, January 26.
According to Mwanamveka, Peter Mutharika is the only solution to the myriad problems facing Malawians, including skyrocketing prices that are affecting their daily lives. He emphasized that the current government has failed to effectively govern the country, leaving many Malawians to suffer. Mwanamveka cited examples such as the instability of the Kwacha, which he claimed was stable during Peter Mutharika’s leadership.
The DPP has been conducting stopover tours across the country since 2024, with the primary objective of mobilizing Malawians to vote for the party. Mwanamveka’s appeal is part of this broader effort to rally support for Peter Mutharika’s candidacy.
Mwanamveka’s statement being the latest in a series of appeals to the electorate. With the country facing numerous challenges, the outcome of the elections is expected to have a significant impact on Malawi’s future.
