UTM Vice President for the North, Catherine Mzumara, has strongly criticized politicians for exploiting the Northern Region during election campaigns while failing to fulfill their promises.
Speaking at a political gathering, Mzumara accused political leaders of repeatedly seeking votes from the North only to neglect the region once they assume office.
She emphasized that this time around, people from the Northern Region will not allow themselves to be taken for granted.
To support her claims, Mzumara played an audio recording of President Lazarus Chakwera making campaign promises to the people of the North.
She argued that the recording was evidence of unfulfilled commitments, demonstrating that Chakwera had deceived the electorate.
Mzumara did not mince words, calling Chakwera a liar, a failure, and a leader who continuously breaks promises.
She stated that the president’s track record has shown that he is unfit to lead the country for another term.
She urged Malawians, particularly those in the Northern Region, to unite and ensure they vote wisely in the upcoming elections.
Mzumara encouraged voters to choose leaders who genuinely care about national development rather than those who only show up during campaign periods.
Her speech received loud cheers from the crowd, signaling growing frustration among voters who feel abandoned by the current administration.
As the elections approach, it remains to be seen whether the Northern Region will indeed shift its voting patterns in response to such concerns.
