Political observers question Peter Mutharika's presidential campaign strategy amid concerns about his advanced age and controversial running mate Jane Ansah. Critics suggest Ansah cannot deliver the votes needed for victory. The former president has shown minimal campaign activity since the official period began. Analysts debate whether candidates can win elections without intensive campaigning. Most experts consider victory unlikely without active voter outreach.
Mutharika supporters argue his previous accomplishments eliminate the need for extensive campaigning. His administration maintained greater economic stability compared to current President Chakwera's leadership. The former leader demonstrated crisis management skills during Cyclone Freddy and economic challenges. Food distribution programs boosted his popularity among struggling citizens. Various religious leaders, chiefs, and civil society groups have endorsed his candidacy.
Media appearances and public engagements help Mutharika maintain visibility without formal campaign events. The Democratic Progressive Party plans to launch its manifesto on August 3, 2025, at Njamba Freedom Park. Voters will ultimately determine the election outcome.
