The Public Affairs Committee finished its sixth major conference last week. Leaders from different groups met for two days at Blantyre from May 20 to 21. Political parties sent representatives to talk about election issues. Government workers joined civil society members for the discussions. Private business people also attended the important meetings.
During the conference sessions, people discussed three main topics. The economy took up much of the first-day conversations. Election rules and voting processes created heated debates among participants. Peace and security concerns filled the second-day agenda. Everyone shared ideas about keeping communities safe during campaign season.
Committee members called the conference a major success for the country. They believe the talks helped different groups understand each other better. Many participants made helpful suggestions about the 2025 elections. The committee plans to share these ideas with government officials soon. Executive members met again on May 22 to review conference results.
Officials will visit authorities to discuss recent violence at Mponela Trading Centre. Someone burned a vehicle carrying Democratic Progressive Party supporters. This attack worried many people about election safety across the nation. The committee wants to prevent more violence before voting begins. They hope their recommendations will help keep peace during campaigns.
