AFORD refuses to team up with the ruling Malawi Congress Party before September elections. The party wants voters to know they will never work with MCP leaders. Annie Maluwa speaks for AFORD and says their position stays firm. Vice President Timothy Mtambo praised some government work during a recent radio talk. His words confused people about what AFORD really thinks.
Maluwa told reporters that Mtambo spoke for himself and not the party. AFORD members can share personal views but official statements come through proper channels. The party decided at their meeting to avoid MCP partnerships completely. They agreed to consider working with other political groups instead. Party leaders will announce their alliance plans soon.
AFORD has criticized the government since 2020 when MCP took power. Mtambo said the current administration had not failed totally in some areas. His comments started arguments about whether AFORD might change their anti-MCP stance. Maluwa stopped the confusion by restating their official policy. The party prepares for what many expect will be competitive elections.
