Vice President Dr. Michael Usi has called on the people of Mwanza to ensure they register with the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to secure their right to vote in the 2025 General Elections. Dr. Usi made the appeal during a whistle-stop tour in Thambani on Monday, aimed at encouraging voter registration in the district.
Speaking to a gathering at Kayera Village under Group Village Headman Tsegulani in the area of Senior Chief Govati, Dr. Usi emphasized the importance of civic engagement. “Voting is your democratic right and a powerful tool to shape the future of our nation. Register now so that you can exercise this right in 2025,” he said.
During his visit, the Vice President also inspected the Kayera Health Post, highlighting the government’s commitment to improving healthcare services in rural areas. He reassured the community of the administration’s plans to uplift their well-being through enhanced health infrastructure and other development initiatives.
“The government is dedicated to ensuring that quality healthcare is accessible to all, including those in remote areas like this. Together, we can build a healthier and stronger Malawi,” Dr. Usi said.
Earlier in the day, Dr. Usi toured Senior Chief Nthache’s house, currently under construction by the government. The Vice President’s visit demonstrated the administration’s effort to improve living conditions for traditional leaders, acknowledging their critical role in community leadership and development.
Dr. Michael Usi’s tour in Mwanza underscores the government’s dual focus on promoting civic participation through voter registration and driving development initiatives to improve the quality of life for all Malawians. As the 2025 elections draw nearer, the Vice President’s call to action is a reminder of the collective responsibility to strengthen democracy in the country.
