Renowned online journalist Twink Jones Gadama has recently made headlines with his decision to contest in the 2025 elections in Mulanje Central constituency. With a long and successful career in the media industry, Gadama has now set his sights on a new challenge – serving the people of his constituency as their member of parliament.
The decision to run for office came after local chiefs in his area approached Gadama, expressing their dissatisfaction with the incumbent member of parliament, Kondwani Nankhumwa. According to the chiefs, the constituency has always been a stronghold of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and they believe that Gadama is the best candidate to maintain this status quo. Gadama, who has been a member of the DPP for many years, feels honored by the chiefs’ endorsement and is eager to represent the people of Mulanje Central in the upcoming elections.
In a recent interview with this publication, Gadama spoke passionately about his commitment to serving the people of his constituency. He sees himself as a servant of the people, dedicated to addressing their needs and concerns. Gadama’s long history with the DPP gives him a unique perspective on the issues facing Mulanje Central, and he is confident that he has the skills and experience necessary to make a positive impact as their representative in parliament.
While Gadama has not yet disclosed the names of the chiefs who approached him, he has hinted at their widespread support within the community. A recent survey conducted by Catholic University students in Mulanje Central revealed that Nankhumwa’s strength is closely tied to the DPP, and without the party’s backing, his chances of winning in 2025 are slim. This has created an opening for Gadama to step in and offer a new vision for the constituency.
Nankhumwa’s recent expulsion from the DPP has also weakened his political standing in Mulanje Central. Despite challenging his expulsion in court, Nankhumwa has faced criticism for failing to reign in his supporters who publicly burned DPP regalia. This has raised doubts about his ability to unite the party and rally support for his re-election bid. Many people in the constituency are now looking to Gadama as a fresh alternative, someone who can bring new ideas and energy to the table.
For Gadama, the opportunity to represent Mulanje Central in parliament is a deeply personal one. He has always been passionate about politics and has used his platform as a journalist to raise awareness about important issues affecting the community. Now, he sees the chance to make a real difference by taking on a more active role in shaping policy and advocating for change.
As Gadama prepares for the 2025 elections, he is focused on connecting with the people of Mulanje Central and learning more about their needs and priorities. He plans to run a grassroots campaign, engaging directly with voters and listening to their concerns. By building strong relationships with the community, Gadama hopes to earn their trust and support as he works towards a better future for Mulanje Central.
With his background in media and politics, Gadama brings a unique perspective to the race for Mulanje Central constituency. He has the skills, experience, and passion needed to be an effective leader, and he is determined to make a positive impact as a member of parliament. As the 2025 elections draw closer, all eyes will be on Gadama as he makes his case to the people of Mulanje Central.
