Mwenifumbo hails Chihana pick for Malawi unity, balance

Frank Mwenifumbo, president of the National Development Party, called the selection of Enoch Kamzingeni Chihana as Malawi's second vice president a significant achievement for regional representation in government. Mwenifumbo said on Monday that President Arthur Peter Mutharika's choice reflects a commitment to unity and equitable participation from all areas of the country. He praised the decision as forward-thinking and stated it offers encouragement to citizens from underrepresented regions like the north. The appointment holds historical weight because Chihana becomes the second person to occupy a position his late father, Thom Chakufwa Chihana, held under Bakili Muluzi's administration in the early 2000s.
