Congress faces discord after K. Muraleedharan banned Shashi Tharoor from Thiruvananthapuram events. The leader cited national security disagreements as the reason. Muraleedharan stated Tharoor remains unwelcome until changing his stance. Kerala leadership no longer considers the member part of their alliance. This occurs while Congress prepares for the Monsoon Session.
The party plans challenging Modi government over Pahalgam failures and Operation Sindoor results. Tharoor previously led an all-party delegation to the Americas. He advocated placing national interests above party politics at Kochi. His support for armed forces angered fellow Congress members. Tharoor defended his position despite facing criticism.
Tensions increased...
Dynamos manager Saul Chaminuka criticized match officials following Saturday's defeat against Simba Bhora at Wadzanayi Stadium.

The National Planning Commission has given official approval to thirty manifesto submissions from candidates preparing to compete for presidential, parliamentary, and local council positions. Thom Khanje, speaking for the commission, informed Times360 that merely four applicants plan to campaign as independent candidates during the electoral process. These approved submissions demonstrate the active preparations taking place before the September 16 voting date approaches. The Malawi Congress Party has already published its policy document while the People's Party presents its platform during today's ceremony. This approval process serves as an essential requirement for candidates to gain formal recognition of their campaign commitments...
Joyce Banda returned to lead the People's Party manifesto launch at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe. The former president presented the "Trickle-Up: Relief from the Bottom Up" platform ahead of September elections. World Bank data revealed Malawi's GDP grew just 1.8 percent while population expanded 2.6 percent during 2024. The poverty rate climbed from 70.1 percent to 75.4 percent under revised measurements. Banda described these statistics as representing broken dreams and suffering citizens.
The manifesto targets currency stabilization by addressing gaps between official and black market exchange rates. Healthcare reform proposals promise restocked hospitals with essential medications and elimination of out-of-pocket drug payments...
A recent survey reveals strong public support for an opposition alliance before September elections. Malawi24 conducted the poll over one week, gathering responses from over 5000 participants across the nation. Results showed 89 percent of respondents backed the formation of a coalition between DPP, UTM, and AFORD parties. Participants cited government failures and the 50 plus one electoral requirement as primary reasons for supporting unity. Only 598 voters opposed the alliance concept.
Despite widespread agreement on forming a coalition, disagreements emerged regarding leadership arrangements. Supporters split between backing Peter Mutharika and Dalitso Kabambe as potential alliance leaders. AFORD President Enock Chihana suggested...
President Chakwera released the Malawi Congress Party manifesto emphasizing anti-corruption efforts before September elections. Martha Chizuma's exit as Anti-Corruption Bureau director challenges the credibility of these promises. The manifesto lists accomplishments such as doubling the bureau's budget and creating a Financial Crimes Court. Legislative changes to corruption laws represent additional reforms the administration claims as victories. Recent events suggest these measures may lack substance rather than provide real change.
Chizuma faced arrest in 2022 following leaked recordings where she discussed government obstacles to her work. International partners criticized her detention as irregular and politically motivated. The...

Malawian voters can assess campaign pledges more effectively by applying established evaluation methods before the September 16 elections. The SMART framework helps citizens analyze political commitments through five key factors. Candidates must articulate their plans with precision rather than offering unclear statements that allow multiple interpretations. Voters should demand explanations about exactly what politicians intend to accomplish during their tenure.
Political promises require concrete metrics that allow public assessment of progress and success. Leaders who pledge economic improvement without defining specific targets provide little accountability to constituents. Candidates offering measurable goals like achieving...
