The Democratic Progressive Party plans to make waves across Lilongwe this weekend, with just 158 days left before Malawi's general election. DPP officials scheduled several stops throughout the capital city on Saturday, trying to gain ground in the Central Region where the Malawi Congress Party traditionally dominates. The campaign will peak Sunday at a major rally expected to draw loyal supporters and curious voters alike. The unusual pairing of both the Central Region Vice President and Secretary-General as co-headliners aims to show party unity against rumors of internal conflicts.
DPP leaders want to present themselves as a strong alternative to President Chakwera's leadership. They'll outline their plans to fix economic problems, government paralysis, and public disappointment. Senior members claim Malawians need decisive, development-focused leadership instead of what they describe as the current administration's broken promises. The Sunday gathering serves as more than just a rally—it marks the start of their comeback strategy for the 2025 election. Choosing the capital city for this campaign launch directly challenges the ruling party on their home turf, which party strategists see as essential for returning to power.
